I am planning to rebuild my 1.8L to a 2056L using the stock L jet fuel injection. Can you replace the 1.8 injectors with the 2.0 injectors? Would there be an avantage in performance?

L-jet uses a resistor pack in the circuit to drop the operating voltage to the injectors, D-jet doesn't. Doesn't matter to me what your book says, I don't think they're interchangeable. That means BMW, Nissan, Jaguar, and other L-jet injectors won't work either, no matter ho much you want them to. BTW, is that the same book that says 914s use the SR-15X?

I have no idea if you can interchange them as well, but my SDS has the resistor pack as well to make it low impedance. All you have to do is remove the resistor pack to make it high impedance.
Kind of says to me the the L-jet might be a high impedance system that is turned into a low impedance system. Just guessing, but I was told by Ross the L-jet injectors would work with SDS but were a terrible choice.

Would I fool around with d-jet injectors on a l-jet with a new engine?
No.
