You will need a bit to fit the tamper proof torx bolts in the stock regulator. I think it is a tamper proof T-6
Also, if you don't already have them, you will need a new set of runner & plenum gaskets.

Usuallt the afpr comes with new runner gaskets, you will also need a throttle body gasket if you seperate it from the plenum and you dont already have one.
when you take the old afpr off, be careful with the rubber diaphram, once in awhile it'll stick and pocssibly tear, yea it's easiy, oh yea, when you put your plenum back on be careful with the bolts, they are easy to strip

It's a T-10 that you need, and if you cannt find a tamperproof. Just insert the normal one and hit it with a hammer. Worked for me.
