Re: (Json79)
There is a product in Australia, known as the FSE power boost valve. It is an adjustable fuel pressure reg which sense pressure in the manifodl of some sort and adjusts itself to supply enough petrol to meet the vacuum/boost in the mainfold.
It can increase almost 1.7 times that of a stock regulator and the adaptor plates fit onto any car and can easily be mounted whever you like. Im not a distributor or anything just letting u guys know. Apparently WRX's and even non turbo VTEC integras can get about 5 kw, thats about 10 hp I think out of this mod, supposedly though. Also its ability to adjust fuel rpessure means that it can eliminate flat spost easily too...

Re: (itr206)
Have any of you who use the AEM changed the little fitting on the inside to a higher flow one? It comes with the smallest one, I changed the medium one in on mine.

Re: (itr206)
I think if they were mine they wouldnt break. 
But Ive seen them used on turbos running high fuel pressures with FMU so I think thats where the problem is at. I just went with aeromotive because Ive never seen, or heard, one that went bad.

I think it is more dependend on which fuel pump and injectors you are using. According to a fuel press gauge you should know what fitting is the correct one.

Re: ([Evo]Hybrid)
is that what you guys call an FMU? like those boost dependant FMU's that I keep hearing is this?
DAYAM if it is, I would NEVER NEVER run my car with only this unit controlling fuel....NEVER, at best this with a piggy back unit of some sort to control A/F etc...

Re: (freakie)
No, A FMU and a FPR are just 2 different units. The FPR is going to replace the stock FPR which is not adjustable. The fp is always the same and the only diff to the stock one, that it can be adjusted.
A FMU is a rising rate regulator, needed when there is no standalone in the setup. It gives per pound of boost more fuel press.
