Daniel,

I don't remember that much about the install, except that it seemed fairly basic. Witht the stuff that I know you have done in the past, it should be no problem for you. I put mine on the driver's side wall of the center compatrment in the hatch area. We had to drill a small hole in the bottom corner of the compartment to run the wires, but it siliconed up nicely. My voltage adjustment switch is located under the dash on the driver's side left. It is out of sight, but when you are driving, you can easily reach it with your left hand to adjust it if needed. The Hobbs switch is on the brake booster. You can test it out after you get it installed by turning the voltage rheostat to max and shorting the hobbs switch. You should see an increase in fuel pressure.

I will be at MTI on Saturday if you want to check out how mine is installed.

There is really not much to it. Just tie it in to the fuel pump wiring back at the fuel tanks. I put my control box under the drivers side dash and have the **** screwed onto the lower panel out of sight.
