Crimping Bosch FI Connector Terminals

This is what you need to make it, Delphi Tool #12085271 (OEM Delphi Weather Pack tool), or any cheap aftermarket version will work fine. There are plenty of aftermarket crimpers on eBay or Amazon that go for about $30--just search on the tool number. Be sure your tool includes the Weather Pack circular crimpers; some versions of the tool don't have it:
