Re: Thanks that was helpful

Great set of pics and and instructions. I'm traveling for the next three weeks but when I get back it looks like something I can handle in a Saturday afternoon. I'll let you know how it goes.

Excellent info. What size are the hose clamps I need? Can I use regular screw type for EFI?

I used the smallest ones: 7/32 to 5/8 inch. There are a few smaller hoses to the pressure regulator that you will have to try and reuse the original crinp-stype clamps.

Don't reuse OEM crimp clamps. If you have to remove them, the size is printed on the outside of the crimp clamp or you can get the right clamp from the dealer.
For high pressure EFI, generally worm-type clamps aren't the right thing…they don't have enough clamping force or something. It may work for awhile, but you really don't want 5+ bar fuel spraying around the engine compartment. Unless you accept an engine fire and insurance total the car... Most EFI systems use a screw-type clamp, it will have a nut on the end øf the screw.
