Can someone recommend me one? I'm looking for one for a turbo application on a toyota MR2 (3S-GTE)

Thanks

you running JIC or Push On fittings?

Sytec do a performance one that can accomadate your needs but it aint cheap at £80.

You could get one of the cheap ones though on Ebay for about £25-£30

I'd have to customize my own fittings. I found a few on ebay but I have no idea whats good or whats not.

I'd rather go with something that someone has already tried and tested.

I haven't heard any bad experiences with the cheap ones generally sold on the bay for 25-30 even when used forced induction. I sure hope they work okay because that's what I'll be using (if my blown EFI thing ever happens!).

I am using a cheapy from ebay - no problems yet

As long as you keep an eye on your AFR you should be ok.

Cheers,

we use and sell turbosmart FPR800 (also 1000 and 1200) available with push on, or JIC fittings. not cheap but they dont go wrong.

on forced induction engines where the fuel pressure regulator is used as rising rate, the fuel pressure regulator becomes a crucial part of the engines fuel system and should never be overlooked.

we can sell the sytec ones but we feel they are inferior, they are also known to make an annoying squeak.

a fuel pressure regulator is cheaper than an engine!!
