Ethanol Sensor Install 2.0 (and ID1000s)

Necessity is not always the mother of all invention, sometimes its boredom. I was waiting on my transmission to come back and needed another project.

1) I first found a smokin deal on ID1000s
2)Did some research and learned ID1000s only flow about 925 when using typical calibration fluid, ID flows theirs with gasoline, so its more of a true flow, but compared to other injectors they flow less. I suspect this is also why all the fuel calculators out there tend to say some real world power people have made on certain injectors (including stock ones) should not be possible. Its because when you are running actual gas you get about 10% more flow than the normal injector rating would suggest.
3)I determine it would be good to have an adjustable fuel pressure regulator to raise base pressure to 50 PSI. Fueling is a little close at 43 psi base:

4)I like the simplicity of the aem rail mounted fpr, but their reliability is a little in question.
5)I chose an aeromotive FPR instead, which lead me to needing some fuel rail adapters. I thought it was kinda dumb to replace the return line and not the feed (at least from the filter), so I needed 2 adapters. This is $30 to $40 for decent ones and 3sx rails are only $130, so I say why not get rails?

6)I didn't need my resistor pack, so that lead to a vacuum reduction and a good place to mount it.

7)If I am going to run a fuel pressure regulator, I need a gauge, so why not datalog? That lead to the aem fuel pressure sendor, which screws right into the afpr. I can now run a failsafe in the aem as well if fuel pressure goes to low at a given boost it will save the motor.

One thing lead to another and:

Pardon the mess!
