Read this: http://www.quantum-racing.com/Quantu...%20Install.htm

Tips from me:

* Take rear seats out. Squatting in the trunk sucks.

* Really depressurize the fuel sytem (QR's directions still ended up with gas squirting all over from the bracketed pipe). Have towels handy and don't be smoking.

* Be careful with the float...it seems hard but by twisting and turning the assembly you can get it in/out without bending anything

* Take care with the gasket upon reinstallation. Make sure the little nubs are pulled up through the lid so it seats correctly.

* Don't overtorque the small nuts, they will break the bolts.

It's very easy...QR's directions were great. Oh and reuse the stock filter stuff...I've read that the stuff that comes in the "WRX kit" is shorter and doesn't pick up fuel as well. That's just anecdotal from me though...search more if you're interested. I've been using the stock filter for 10k mi with no problems.

Good luck.

if you can, get a new gasket. it's like $7 and worth every penny if your stocker leaks after the install.
