Are you planning on boosting later? If not, there is no real reason to upgrade your injectors.

You definitely don't need larger injectors for a car with bolt-ons or even minor mods.

on a related topic, how do you know when your (stock) fuel injectors have bit the dust? Somebody told me I might have a couple of bad injectors...so how can i really test this?

pull them and clean them up, if it aint broke dont fix it. besides the money you spend on OEM ones could go towards larger ones when the turbo comes around

It will hurt. Unless you have proper fuel maps to trim any larger injector than stock, you will run pig rich and possibly damage the motor and emission system.
