Re: B&M Comandflo Reliability? (turbotime)
Ive used my B&M FPR without any troubles for the past year and a half I believe. It has never given me any trouble. The gauge on the other hand was quite bad. Since it doesnt have any fluid in it to absorb the vibrations it breaks quite easily. I am now using a marshall liquid filled. Got it for about $25 I think off of ebay.

uh issnt that what an FPR does (Adjustable Fuel Pressure Regulator)
I plan on using it on my DD 400whp fi street car, think itll be ok? I already got a walbro 255 in there and with just the stock fpr (non-adjustable) my idle fuel pressure was around 45psi, seemed a lil on the high side...
edit: read some info on the aeromotive fpr and it states it raises pressure 1psi per pound of boost, so doesnt that make it 1:1 as well?

so your saying even with the b&m commandflo it only raises fuel pressure .5psi for every 1psi of boost? Even with the different spring?
Is anyone else running the commandflo on a fi setup? I just already have this brand new commandflo assembled and want to know if its worth the $150 to get a different one or if this will be fine.... if i were to get a different one i would go aeromotive...

Re: B&M Comandflo Reliability? (turbotime)
I had the B&M for 8 years since '98.. After the car was boosted, I was still using the same B&M FPR, and right now I am still using it. So about 3 years with the car boosted and there are no problems.
