Fuel Injectors - need help!!

Ok so instead of doing this in multiple posts I am going to try and do this in one.
So about three weeks ago, after filling up at BP (mistake) the car started throbbing as if one of the cylinders wasn't firing at all. I take it to the shop and they eventually tell me that one of the injectors is bad. I originally bought the car stage 3 and it had a hogepodge of stuff in it listed in my sig(or supposedly). So the shop tells me that in fact I do not have regular rs4 injectors and that the serial numbers have been "filed off" of the injectors. Long story short I didn't need the car any time soon and was fed up with their rediculous prices so I said forget it to the shop and took the car home. Upon taking the rail off this is what I find. Seems like there is sandy particles all up on some of the injectors and in the block. I'm like wtf?!? The car is at my house right now and I am stuck on base(Naval Academy) during the week so it has been difficult moving forward.
So can someone tell me A) what kind of injectors are these B) what the hell is that sandy stuff and what does that mean and C) what the hell should I do from here.
