What's in a name?

An FPR normally refers to an adjustable fuel pressure regulator.
An FMU normally refers to a boost dependent fuel pressure regulator.

An FMU raises fuel pressure based on boost, for example a 12:1 fmu would raise fuel pressure 12psi for every 1 psi of boost, that way the fuel pressure is only risen while boosting.

A fuel pressure regulator adjusts the fuel pressure at idle, and driving around, all throughout the rpm range, just not dependent on boost. Of course as manifold vacuum decreases the fuel pressure rises.

THanks for the replys everyone. But i was more curious to know, which one do I use to adjust my fuel pressure at a certain boost. Let it be for driving or at idle. Thanks.
