   sorry to hijack this thread, i got one for free off a m8, he said it doesn't fit his phase two. i have a mk2 vtr with the 90bhp engine i was just wondering can i still fit it?

   it should fit but its a waste of time effort and fuel. you already have a fuel pressure regulator. you wont achieve anything fitting it

   Wow, two ebay ideas in one evening I'm impressed. But as Tom said, avoid it completely, you can risk starving your engine another bad "mod" to add the list

   all they do is improve throttle response then cause you to over fuel. in my experience they are good when you have cams but havent had them mapped other than that its a waste.

   Only good if have higher lift cams and dont want to remap but need more fuel. My mate has one on his vts with his 708s runs really well.

    as above only worth changing it when cammed. even then dont buy an adjustable one they are a royal pain to get to fit properly, well on a vts anyway. if you decided to change it change it to a weber 350 kpa reg off a vtr (vts are only 300 kpa) they fit straight in. i got 4.7 bhp from fitting one of these to mine and derestricting my air feed to my bmc cda. i hope this is of some use mate
