While the original waterboxer injectors were yellow, the newest replacements I have seen are green.

I am used to Bosch differentiating their injectors by color but green is what various sources now supply as replacements for 2.1 injectors. I have installed some and as far as I can tell they work fine. I am nervous about partial replacement with a different color but the full sets seem ok. I would like to know if they are similar enough to run mixed with yellow, if anyone has this info.
