Homemade AFPRs

Can someone tell me exactly how to make my own AFPR? I ordered one from Summit, not knowing really what one consisted of, and was amazed. I paid $72 for a piece of anodized aluminum! It's a joke and a scam. It's going back tomorrow and I'll spend the money on something worth spending it on. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Is that the same regulator as a TPI? Doesn't sound like it. I know Vader has a link, but it never seems to work when I look through old posts. I'm interested in doing the same thing less than $5 seems alot better than $50-70 for something I probably won't use very often anyways. How much HP can the 19lb injectors feed at stock psi?

Fred/Beast,

I have a file with instructions. I'll warn you (and everyone) one more time - read and heed the caution about the ball size if you decide to use a ball instead of a flat steel disc. Because of the mail I've had about the fitment problems, I would suggest using the disc instead of the ball, even though I found the correct size ball for my regulator. (The steel disc from a 3/4" conduit knockout is about a perfect fit.)

The PDF file is here:
