Over here i Germany i've searched for original Bosch injectors (part no BOSCH 0 280 156 053) for my 986 face lift engine with 260 HP. The cheapest one i could find is around 80 Euros plus shipping - approx. 86 USD. I would be careful with 30 USD offers. Smells like cheapo fakes or something aftermarket but not BOSCH.

Markus, you're right. Currently they are selling for $80-110 a piece.

Bosch's small automotive parts are made in China. I was blown away when these injectors showed up in Bosch boxes with "made in China". But, genuine Bosch parts all come with verification codes on them that you can check through their website and these did in fact check out to be genuine.

Keep in mind that I bought these injectors over a year ago, before all Chinese exports started going way up in price. I think the current $100 price tag is just a reflection of that, or maybe I just lucked out.
