It's Alive!
I finished my install last night.
Both valve cover breathers were connected into a catch can. I cut a 9" piece of 3" aluminum pipe to replace the stock airbox, to use a large cone filter. (I still need to get some shielding around the filter, so it doesn't suck on hot engine bay air.) Here are a few pictures:

Injector Upgrade
The new Bosch 318cc/min injectors arrived from URD Racing as scheduled, so I put them in last night!
Here are the new clips I need to solder onto the stock harness, replacing the stock injector clips. The heat shrink is in place, too (red for positive, black for negative).

Tacoma Fuel Upgrade Progress
A few weekends ago, I completed the boring work on the Tacoma: new water pump, timing belt, thermostat, and all accessory belts.
