A gimmick on most cars, these are fuel pressure regulators that have a higher rising rate so deliver more fuel under acceleration etc, but if the car has a lambda then it will peg it back to where it's mapped to again!!

It's not so much about a higher rate of fuel that makes them appeal, it's that it reaches it's fuel pressure 1.7 times faster than oem regulator. I'm sure it doesn't make any difference in reality....but that's their blurb!
