    Generic AFPR (ebay) - thoughts?

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/FUEL-...Q5fAccessories

    Aside from "what is this english i dont even", has anyone tried this generic AFPR? Seems crazy cheap for including a gauge, but it doesn't say if it's a rising rate regulator, so I'm not 100% it'd work on a TT, though it does say evo, and they use a rising rate, and ... ah, my brain.

    Has anyone successfully used one of these?

    They are crap, we just had a 3000gt in here with one and it was not happy on the dyno, he is putting the stock one back in, and the car should be a lot happier.

    They are very inconsistent which is a bad thing for boosted engines where going lean for even a second can cost you your engine. If you feel your car needs one get a real name brand regulator.

    And the list goes on...

    Never cheap out with performance products. if it's too good to be true, it usually is.

    I use a Malpassi rising rate reg. Very VERY sturdy unit.

    so my twin hot wired pumps -8 fuel lines and over 510LPH at 60psi could use a stock FPR. well fuck me i shouldnt have bought an aftermarket one. I didnt know a stock one could handle a -6 return.


    jba3- I loved my single walbro, stock FPR, and 450cc injectors. with a SAFC it was perfect. and before my SAFC and 450s it was still good. never had an issue if thats your intended use. FPR arnt expensive. i have a almost complete fuel kit on the other site. Just been to lazy to get verified here.
    Fully Forged, 16G's ect.

    So utilizing an aftermarket AFPR to squeeze the extra juice out of your injectors isn't worth the trouble? The whole idea of an AFPR is so you can ADJUST it

    Vacuum reduction, Powdercoated misc, cruise relocate, Evo9 BOV, Custom catch cans, Russell fuel filter, SS braided fuel lines, High flow fuel loop, Autogage fuel gauge, Catless DP, DNP Y-pipe, Fuel pump hotwire.
