FishWick 21 Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 I don't use the standard intake or fuel rail, so I use a remote adjustable fuel regulator - http://www.spturboparts.com/aftermarket/ViewDetails.aspx?prod=16344But if I was using the stock rail, I'd definitely fit one of those OE shaped adjustables :-) Link to post Share on other sites

craggsy 91 Posted September 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 i run on adjustable one with my charger and not had any issues with it ' date=' easy to adjust and vince set it up when on RR mapping vento.....picked it up for about 40 quid ....cant complain...[/quote']I have a BEGI rising rate ready to go on to replace one ive got as I think its not working right. So gonna run it with standard FPR wel 4 bar if I can get one. Gonna do the 3.8bar one from vauxhall more than likely. If it doesnt feel right then i'll run it how I have it now Link to post Share on other sites
