This is my somewhat modified setup.  The inline needle replaces the restrictor and allows me to open it up a bit for a quicker boost rise.  The small check valve that comes with the kit locked open on me on occasion...I think from the heat.  This is a distributor check valve and is much more robust.  The Napa part number is 2-970 out of the CRB line. With the two valves I'm able to dial in a quick rise in Fuel Pressure and still hold the top end pressure down.  Running 1.8L injectors on my 1.6L w/stock timing I've got 12psi boost with no pinging in hot weather! [UPDATE:  later in 100 plus temps and more advanced timing and CA gas I got pinging.  You MUST lower the boost if this occurs until cooler weather returns.  NO pinging is acceptable.  A small ping once in a while is NOT acceptable.  Trust me.]
