What are people using and what is a reasonable price?

Getting tuned next Wed and putting a Walbro in tonight, thinking an adjustable regulator might be an idea

according to BEGi, they invented the adjustable fuel pressure regulator, and are still the best.
I would stick with brand names like Malpassi.
Sorry Im not much help.

i've been using a Malpassi RR FPR for years and have never had a problem with it.

I have a BEGI sitting as yet unused in my shed. When I next get max dynoed, I'll know whether or not I need it.

What Injectors are you using ?
How much Power ( RWKW) are you chasing ?????
I am running the stock Fuel Reg with Evo 440cc Injectors
with 15 PSI boost and there still not running out :)

The car lights up in 3rd when you get on the power :D

have to tune Traction control ( there is no way in the world that i'll take the power away again)

Its going in to check that the tune you gave me on the SMC is not leaning out on stock injectors at low boost. I want to try and get it to pass emissions like Bark's NA6 did before I put the 550's in and go chasing power, so I think a bit of extra pressure would be good to give it a little bit more headroom on the stock injectors?

Unless I could find something in the next week that will drop in and not dribble at low revs etc...
