As said, there are a few nozzles that will work from stock applications in the 8v, but not many due to the odd plane / rotation of injector, although if you can find anything with correct plane and cone angles it would be possible to work with as long as you knew the rotation of the OEM engine it came from and some modifications to the body.
However, if its staying common rail and not going MTDI, sadly this is the price you generally have to pay...As changing common rail nozzles yourself is pretty much a disaster zone, yes you can change them no problem at all (no different to a mech injector) but the problem is there is simply no way to test it, so like on mech injectors I can set the pop pressure with my injector tester, and check the spray is good, in which case the injector is good. But with common rail there are lots of "calibrator" items inside the body of the injector which set things like max needle left / pressure etcetc, all which are critical to get correct or else you will get all 4 injectors dumping in different amounts of fuel. Sadly the equipment you need to measure these precise levels of accuracy are VERY expensive, hence your stuck using the big diesel places who have the gear, and 100-150 per injector is a very typical cost...Normally ends up costing more due to problems with nearly all used injectors...
