Default Fuel Pressure

Hi everyone i have just fitted cosworth management to an rs turbo but whilst trying to get it started one of my mates came to give a hand and was messing with the fuel pressure regulator just winding it in and out now not sure if it is ok. The car runs and drives ok but want to check it to be on the safe side so does any one know what it should be at roughly thanks.

You need to set the static fuel pressure to whatever the chip is calibrated for.. 3-3.5 bar is a good starting point.

Just take it to a rolling road, unless you want to risk meltdown!!
