If you set it to high you will be wasting fuel by running real rich as your drive around town.

If you set it way to high, you could exceed the capabilities of the rest of the fuel system.

So in what circumstances would a Stock FPR not be able to cope ? (ie why do you fit an aftermarket one ?)

thanks :oops:

I went to an AFPR when I wanted to run more than 17 psi of boost on a T3T4 turbo with the factory injectors.

I upped the FP and ran race gas which allowed me to run 20 psi of boost safely (with water injection!)

SFLee, if you get a SARD unit, make sure it is 1:1.
I have seen SARD units that go from 2:1 to higher and that will cause you major problems.

It should be advertised the way it is ... or at least the instrcutions or box should say so.

A CT20B will max out before the 540cc inejctors at 42 psi, so you most likely don't need the AFFR. (edited by admin)
