well when i had the stocko fuel pump mine was set at 25psi on idle... However theres different ratios on fuel pressure regulators... ones for turbo non turbo etc Mine is a 1.5:1 ratio, turbo heavy duty one... Since then ive put a 600hp pump on and the pressure has sky rocketed to 35psi and i cant adjust any lower than that .... Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

its a game with them... have to adjust till u find what runs perfect... I had ALOT of messing around with mine. Computer will adjust to it etc. If its rich just back it off 1psi each time till it runs sweeeeeeeeet :P Performance efi one? So not the N/A type but turbo type? There are 2 turbo type ones. HD is for 15psi and beyond. Std turbo one up to 15psi.

thanks dude, i was speaking to dan and he said he was told that monza reg are good and that alot of suburu's are using them, or something to do with sub's, this is the reg that i bought before i knew that. I asked the guy at the place where i bought it "if it was for a turbo" and he said "it is for high fuel pressure so i don't see why not" aslo have you upgraded to vt brakes , what do you think of them?

wagondan has upgraded his brakes to the vt kit and he luvs em! i too shall be fittin this upgrader later down da line. If your fiddlin with the fuel pressure adjustment i'd, pay 100 bux and get it done properly and safely on a dyno at barrys dyno or ovaboost performance or who eva jus not myaree dat way you wont accidently lean your ride out and do sum damage unexpectedly! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

yeah i know id be eating my words when i say this but try not to use a malpassi... They cause nothing but grief, hardly hold pressure constantly they often go wayward... I had to adjust mine every week just to keep things going ok..... but yes i do have one... i learnt the hard way didnt get solid advice as to which was ok or not. Nah dont ahve VT brakes on mine.... They will work tops bro.... if you have the spare cash just splurge out and get a set... Chamra here gives calaisturbo ppl a good deal!
