he is right you dont have to remove the injectors/fuel rails from the car/manifold. basically you take off the upper intake to give you room to put a wrench on the pulsation damper. on the gsl-se you can put a wrench on the pd without pulling the intake

you can buy the injector O-rings at Autozone, If you want I will pick them up and put them in the box at cost John
this just in: I cancelled my order, at least until I can get all this clarified....I like making things complicated

you can either pull the intake off, and change the damper, or you can pull the intake off pull the fuel rails off and change the damper.

um sometimes you are going in there to do other stuff as well, maybe the egr valve, or the lower intake gasket, metering lines. or you can say that since the damper is bad, maybe i should change the fuel injector o rings too, to prevent future leaks.

I'm getting a little overwhelmed....is it as difficult as it sounds? I've never taken stuff like that off before
and since I am going to go ahead and try this, are there other things I should do while I'm there? I'm thinking tb mod, since I'll have it off, but any reliability things? should I be doing the things you listed? I feel like a freakin 3-year-old here

haha, theres 2 schools of thought
1. replace the part thats bad
2. replace the part thats bad and any other stuff you can while you have access to them.
3. restore the whole car from the ground up.
1. would replace the damper, and the uim to lim gasket
2. would replace the damper, the lower intake gasket, clean out the intake/6 ports, change the injector o rings, and the hoses going to the tb
3. well everything is new/rebuilt/cleaned/plated

2 sounds good...3 would be nice, but not right now (daily driver)
p/d (banzai)
gasket (wherever I can)
injector o-rings (autozone)
some hose (autozone?)
anything I'm missing? special tools that I can't afford, yet are required, perhaps?
