   Waste of money in my opinion. If you nees more fuel, get bigger injectors.
   
   p.s. a fpr will do nothing on its own except overfuel.

    if theyre mapped to a constant fuel pressure, then the map will take care of the fuelling.
    
    there is no need for adjustment

    there is plenty of headway in the standard injectors.. you can adjust the map accordingly.

    so basically you used a map designed for a completely different inlet, then adjusted the fuelling by the fpr as a substitute to proper mapping?

    You mean an external fpr?
    
    There is no point to one at all, the only reason I have one is because I use it as an external FPR to fit my jenvey rail.
