I was able to spend a little more time on installation this evening, and installed the Fuel Pressure Regulator (FPR).

This is another bit that isn't quite bolt-on, since the hole in the mounting tab needs to be opened up just a little bit. A moment with a step drill did the trick.

Then, I just had to attach the fittings to the FPR. I also added a pressure gauge, which was previously installed on the old fuel injection system. Then the FPR mounts like the stock FPR. Only difference is I will need to run a vacuum line to the top of the FPR.

Liking that right-angle attachment on your drill (B.C. has the nicest tools!).

I've had that old right-angle adapter for a loooong time. If I were to do it again, I'd just buy a small right-angle drill -- the adapter is nice but awkward, since you have to juggle it and the attached drill.

Managed to squeeze in a little more time on the car this evening, and got the TPS and IATS installed.

The TPS with bracket is a direct replacement for the stock unit and the IATS mounts where the old cold start injector mounted. The TPS bracket in the picture is an early prototype, and production units will reportedly be 3-D printed.
