I went the full stainless route for my fuel lines and turbo oil lines. If I could go back and do it again, I wouldn't have even bothered. Seriously--6AN lines are the exact same inner diameter as the stock 5/16" fuel hose. It looks cooler, but big deal. Stainless lines are only useful for turbo oil lines if you don't have a stock/hybrid turbo. I pissed away hundreds of dollars on fittings and braided line that I didn't really need.

That being said... http://www.fc3spro.com/TECH/MODS/FUEL/fsystem.htm . But nobody is quite sure when the parallel fuel mod is necessary. I chose to keep my system in series.

If I could do it again, here's what I would do: keep rubber lines everywhere. remove the stock FPR and install an M12 x 1.25 adapter that uses rubber hose. run that to one port of the FPR, one which you should install a fitting to allow rubber house for the inlet (just use one and plug the other inlet) and another fitting at the bottom to use rubber hose that could be clamped to the firewall.

Double check that last part though... I'm not sure if the rubber hose for those slip on AN fittings is 5/16" .

for your horsepower range you will want to install 1600 cc bosch secondary's. this requires an aftermarket rail or some modification to your stock rail to make them work.
