Full throttle AFPR review

I ordered the kit from On Green Performance eBay store. The kit comes with "Everything you need" which includes AFPR, 90 degree npt elbow fitting, barbed npt fitting and 2 Allen screws with nylon nuts. The installation is cut and dry for the most part but I had some issues that make this kit not as easy as the instructions depict. Basically the instructions are:

1. Remove stock vacuum line and fuel line.
2. Remove the 2 bolts that hold the stock fpr to the fuel rail then remove fpr.
3. Screw the elbow into the bottom of the AFPR
4. Screw the barbed fitting into the elbow.
5. Install AFPR in same location as stock fpr with the Allen screws and nuts that come with kit.
6. Hook up vacuum and fuel lines.
7. Set fuel pressure with adjustment screw.

Ok the point of this kit is that it bolts to the stock fuel rail and it does but I had some issues. The Allen screws that come with the kit are a joke. The Allen screws are smaller than the bolt holes in the end of the fuel rail and the idea is to put these Allen screws through the holes and tighten the nut on the other side. Nice idea but trying to get the bottom bolt tightened with the fuel rail bolted in is nearly impossible. So you will most likely have to remove the fuel rail to install the AFPR. After I removed the rail I used a bolt that was the same size as the one that held the stock fpr in but slightly longer for the bottom hole and used the allen screw in the top because there’s no way to get a wrench on a bolt.

The second issue I had was installing a gauge. The AFPR has a round piece that fits against the fuel rail which seems oversized and made it difficult to screw the gauge into the AFPR gauge port. The best way around this is to put another elbow into the gauge port and put the gauge into the elbow but this is awkward because of timing belt cover but it works if you get it at the right angle.

Overall I think this is a pretty nice piece and would recommend it as an alternative to remote AFPR like AEM SX etc. The adjustment is accurate and stays put. What else could you ask for?
