Pretty pointless unless you have some sort of remap on a forced induction imo. Will just cause you to overfuel and/or use loads of fuel.

The fuel pressure for your car as standard is what it needs to be. Raising that is a bit silly.

I found that the fse adustable fuel pressure regulator worked nicely with an after market filter and exhaust.

Well i guess as long as you set it up well on the rollers it can't do no harm.

I had one of these on my sc conversion, but i needed it because the NA fuel pump was running lean under acceleration otherwise. Made another 15bhp with it.

Yeah my Sc loves the fse too! It made 145bhp @the wheels on stock boost of 8.03psi with a k&n and sports exhaust :thumleft:

ye i have just fiited a k&n filter and moongoose zaust so hopefully it should make a difference. I also have the pressure gauge to set it up, but not sure how to do that either. What pressures should it read?
