Additional Fuel injector holder
I found this on e-bay

The seller isn't answering my e-mail question. I need to know if this is applicable to a 2nd generation or only 3rd?

Why do you want it? What are you going to control it with? IMHO, AIC are a bit of a pain, and for their price, (half a haltech), don't offer near the benefits.

Yeah, some kind of AIC. I'm looking for a used one. I'm really trying to prevent from changing too much stuff at one time. I'll go haltech a few years from now along with a T04. For now, I just need something that'll support about 400 @motor and I don't think my 4 720's will cut it.

So I guess that brings me to another question. How do you supply fuel to those extra injectors? It seems to me that some sort of fuel rail need to be made? If anyone has some insight or pics that'd be great.

What I'm planning to do is use a cold start injector out of a junkyard Saab. It differs from normal injectors in that it doesn't pulse--it's either flowing constantly (on) or not at all (off).
You can tee off your existing fuel line to the extra injector. You now need to mount an adjustable pressure switch which will be activated by boost pressure to control the injector. When the threshold pressure is reached the switch closes supplying power / ground to the injector, turning it on. Once pressure falls below the threshold, the switch opens and the injector shuts off.
The pressure switch will have to be set to make contact at a boost pressure that you would like the additional injector to turn on. It would be a good idea to wire in a light in the cockpit (via the pressure switch) to show when the injector actually comes on while viewing your boost guage and a/f meter.
When setting the pressure switch to your target boost threshold, do it one pound at a time just make sure your a/f meter says all is well. After a bit of experimentation you should get dialed in to your target boost level. Once you do, be sure to read your sparkplugs to confirm everything is okay.

To run fuel lines to the extra injectors, just put brass T's in the fuel feed line, run fuel line up to the injectors, shove it on and clamp it down. I ran my car like that for about 2 years with no problems whatsoever - worked great.
The Greddy additional injector holders are super - they're inexpensive, and I just had them welded on the upper intake manifold (I wouldn't JB weld 'em - if that broke loose, that's BAD news!)
I recommend against using the cold start injector. You have NO control over the amount of fuel - it's just on or off. You really need real injectors with a controller to set it up by RPM and boost - fuel needs change with varying boost and RPM levels. The cold start injectors can give more fuel, but you will have rich and lean spots you can't tune out - you won't have nice, smooth power.
