   I'd go with 4Bar, but sure 3.5 would be fine.
   
   Keep the fuel pressure up when high boost. Plus can max how far the injectors go bhp wise

   I'm running the oem fpr housing in the engine bay at the moment - I'll get some pics today and post them up in my prog thread.
   
   Weber do an external housing for fpr, so do jenvey, or Colin satchel does one.
   
   Don't get an adjustable one, stick with a fixed fpr with a good brand. A changine fpr will put your map right out.

   i never have an issue with fuel pressure unless it goes below a 1/3 tank and then it bogs down/hesitates because all the fuel is thrown to the back of the tank
