b/m FPR
just installed my command-flo and am a little disturbed by a couple things
1 - are these really sensitive when you adjust - it went from 20-100 just from a slight turn
2 - for some reason i thought the system should retain pressure even though the car is off , mine goes instantly to zero
3 - i adjusted mine at idle , 46 psi , tightened the nut down , dorve around for a bit
got home to pop the hood and 56 psi
anyone have any insight on these problems , I hope i installed it right but i have like a hundred stock fpr's here so i can redo it if needed
I measured down 1/4" from the top and that was a little too low cause it cut the pin off the the bolt sits on , so I cut another one put it together and it seems fine except for these little probs.
Thanks - Jamie

The system does not retain pressure with the car off. Can't answer your other two questions - hope someone else can because I was thinking of getting one of these after making a few more mods.
"1 - are these really sensitive when you adjust - it went from 20-100 just from a slight turn"
I have to turn mine a half a turn to move it 2psi
"2 - for some reason i thought the system should retain pressure even though the car is off , mine goes instantly to zero"
Mine takes a while after the car's off to die down
" i adjusted mine at idle , 46 psi , tightened the nut down , drove around for a bit
got home to pop the hood and 56 psi"
That's fucked up

thats what i thought , ok i didnt know how sensitive these things were
half a turn two psi , sounds right ------- i'm going to take a closer look tonight
thanks - Jamie

My FPR needle drops very slowly once I turn the engine off. Did you install it correctly? Might want to dismantle it and check it out, hope you didn't use too much locktite on those bolts.
