Um it very simple to install. Just 2 bolts on your intake manifold and loosen two hoses. Then install it vice-versa. Um i would run 35psi, but you might want a second opinion

It should be just 2 bolts (10 mm), I'm not sure on your car, but on most it's on the driver side of the fuel rail. I would take a reading of what it is at right now and bump it up 2 lbs until you can get it dyno tuned. That's one of those things where every motor is different.

Thanks. I see how to do it now. As far as the actual pressure, what are the common rules? More pressure more power? I know its sounds very in experienced but I'm trying to learn. Any imput on that would be a great help. I bought an Arospeed FPR from http://www.StreetStyler.com . From the looks of it, its just as nice as the AEM

As he said it is hard to do without a dyno. But if you have intake and exhaust, try bumping it up 2 lbs and see what your butt dyno feels.

Usually when you put on the gauge, you put it where the service access bolt is, just put a rag around it and loosen it just enought to let the pressure out and the rag will soak it up.
