   Its just a fuel pressure regulator and not that good a one at that. If you do need a higher pressure regulator you are better off getting a Peugeot Sport or GMC item.

   I'm about to shoot myself in the foot here, i know it - but;
   
   Personally i wouldn't touch them. I don't think they'll do any good whatsoever. However i have heard people being quite happy with them, ONCE they have been set up correctly.

   Lol I tend to agree with you on this gd16. I was just being a bit diplomatic about as I tend to piss people off when I start slagging things.

   I won't be so diplomatic they are pap.
   If you have flat spots the correct way to do it is with a remap of the fuel / ignition curve. Blindly ramping up fuel pressure is like taking a sledgehammer to a nut. Inappropriate
