Hi, I have a friend that bought a B&M FPR. I really don't think that he needs this because he is NA w/ only basic mods, I/E. I met up with him the other day and installed a B&M Guage and ****! his f/ pressure was at 80! I convinced him to turn it down but he would only turn it down to 65psi@idle. Am I right in thinking that he should leave his F/ Pressure at stock, at say 55psi? Or would there be any benifit for increased pressure with only intake and exhuast.

EDIT: Sorry, 97 ITR

Tell him to put the stock one back on. I think he cut a bit too much off the hat when he installed the B&M. Unless that guage is off, that is huge pressure.

 

make sure the vacuum line is off when you set those.

 

so there is no reason he should have it then? No performance gain from it???

 

Well there is defenitely no performance gain from having it set that high. It may help him to raise pressure a couple psi over stock, or it may not. Don't expect big gains anyway.
