Made myself an AFPR, check it out.
Hey guys, I made the home made AFPR, so far so good, I only spent about less than a dollar in parts, a hell of alote better than spending 60-90 buck on an after market. I used JB weld instead of brazing it and it worked just as good.
Here is a pic of its current look, I need to sand it and paint it silver.

If you want me to help ya make one let me know.

You should put a nut on the bolt to tighten down against the housing so it doesn't work itself loose during regular engine vibration.
I'm getting the one that comes with the stealth ram fuel rails... when that time comes.

Do not use JB Weld! ROFL
It looked great and after letting it dry about 5 hrs. I put it on using a quarter as the spring pusher downer
just putting a quarter there made the spring go down farter, making it 49 psi at WOT! just what I wanted and I didn't even have to screw it down, it held vacumm just fine, then I wanted to make sure it worked so I started screwing the screw in, the JB weld didn't hold and the screw poped right off along w/ the JB Weld so there was a hole...bit it still held vacumm and 49 psi at WOT, if it works, dont fix it! So I left it alone, I am going to make another but this time I will have to braze it.
