Default Adjustable Fuel Pressure Regs - Which one to buy?

Hi all,

Ive got an adjustable fuel pressure regulator on my car, but, to be honest, it's crap.

It doesn't keep to the same pressure what i set it to. I set it, go for a drive and its all over the place. It's an unbranded one and most probably come from china!

Can any of you reccomend good quality ones? Must have AN-6 fittings etc and be 100% reliable! As in, once its set, it doesnt change and go all over the place lol!

I have the Aeromotive A1000-6 Injected Bypass Fuel Regulator for several years now with a fuel pressure gauge in the car and it works perfect all the time

what car you got?
If its near standard I would fit an OEM and forget about it safe in the knowledge its doing the job properly and not screwing up the fueling which could be VERY bad!

cheers for the replys people!

Will have a look at the Aeromotive ones! Rather pay for a good quality one than a cheapo ebay jobbie!

Regards the car, its a Uno Turbo with a 2.0 Lancia turbo lump in

Aeromotive as stated, or Turbosmart, we dont supply anything else here.

We do sell the Turbosmarts and keep them in stock.

Stu, do you stock the required fittings to use 1 of these with a frs mk1 inlet/fuel rail?
