Ok, Im running 5 psi of boost right now and I want to get a Rising Rate Fuel Pressure Regulator. I know I should get a real tune, but Im saving for a Mega Squirt and $800 isnt easy to come by these days. LOL. So I found this one "FPR" on Ebay, but Im not 100% sure its a rising rate regulator. It says it has a 1:1 boost ratio so I thought it might be but I just wanted a second or third opinion. I also have a wanted thread looking for one, so if anyone has one they want to sell..??

Thanks Guys!!

From personal experience being stranded in the middle of UTAH (god that state sucks!) due to a faulty sub-par FPR, I'd say look into buying a FPR from an established company, namely an Aeromotive FPR. I had a Greddy which I thought was middle of the road. Not the cheapest, not the most expensive. Boy was I wrong!

The link you gave looks like an Aeromotive knock off. Id stay away from it if I were you.

I've got a SX regulator for sale if you want it. It's the same quality and same design as the Aeromotive. Ask anyone here if you're not sure.


Here's a pic:

Ill defiantly consider it. It would still be a few days, cause I wouldn't be able to do anything until the first.
