For my surprise, the new injectors had a different part number, that means they are not the same, they are a new generation, I was also told by an insider, when a part number changes usually means it is a new generation of the part (I will call it a "silent recall")
Now, I feel my car like it gained 100Hp's, the car drives like a whole new car, I'm so happy with the change that I don't regret spending $2000 in that job, its a another car, believe me.
A similar story happened to me when my dealer changed by warranty my front brakes (the new pad's had a new part #) because they made a terrible noise when driving in reverse.
Hope all this will help in some way

That is a great information. Thank you very much for your comprehensive reply to my issue. I have a feeling that mine is identical. I will look into replacing fuel injectors on it, might as well change spark-plugs while at it. As for the brakes, I am noticing the same problem. Seems like front brakes make too much high-pitch noise when braking hard. Maybe time to replace brake pads to the "new part#'s"
