No, don't use them. Ive used loads on FSE/Malpassi regs on different cars and they leak, poor adjustment etc..

Are the turbo fuel regs available/expensive from reno? Beginning to suspect mine after checking all the ignition electrics, sparkers and fuel pump voltage and still getting an annoying misfire just as the boost is picking up

Might take you up on that - I'll try DGs test of pulling the vacuum/boost tube off and see if I get the desired result. Thinking about renewing the fuel pump as well as its done 140k miles and might just be getting tired - its got plenty volts though. Really annoying these misfires - car has been off the road for about 18months and I just want to get out and give it a good thrashing.

I don't think Peter has got the one that youve listed. He means 'he's got an adjustable regulator' :lol:

Ive found that the tolerance in the screw at the top is very fine, so even a small amount of rotation swings the pressure from high to low. Its also very tight and and you can end up rounding off the slot to turn it..

Go for a SARD, very compact and no problems so far..
