Default Blox FPR - Anyone using? Opinions?

I have a Blox adjustable FPR like the one pictured below and I would like to use it since my car will be turbo soon - would you guys recommend using this type or is anyone using this?

I figured that when the time comes to get it tuned, the tuner would probably prefer having one of these...

This is identical in design to the B&M fuel pressure regulator I was sent for my setup and require the use of your OEM FPR (you have to cut the top of it and then insert it into the Blox one) but I wasn't impressed with it at all so got rid of it and paid extra for AEM one.

Hmmm, well I already have it and I cannot return it, so is it safe to use it and will it work well with boost? I am going to be using RC 550cc injectors as well and the ECU is running a Crome program...

your tuner will prefer a 1:1, I'm sure, we have done turbo cars with the b&m style fpr, but kinda a pain in the butt.

The only problem I can remember having was not being able to lower fuel pressure enough, like below 55psi, with the use of a walboro 255. I had to drill open a relief port, they may have fixed it now.

You really don't "need" an FPR for most basic setups.

Ok I just thought, if I use my Walboro 255 Lph Fuel pump and the stock FPR with the RC 550cc injectors for my Turbo H22A (6 PSI only), will the Fuel pressure be too high??

Thanks Phearable

BTW, I found this interesting post which anyone else with who might have the same dilemma as me would find useful as well ...
