   i have bought stuff from america and hong kong before, if they send it as a gift you dont have to pay anything but if it is sent as purchased goods then u have to pay import duty. its done on a % of the valve of the product and the charge depends if its sent through a corrier or via the postoffice. for example me and a few other punto gt lads bought intercoolers for £100 from america some were sent via parcel force and the import duty was £14 some of the others ones were sent through the post office and the import duty was £40. hopefully it will be sent as a gift as its only a small item its the bigger items i am sure they would have to list as a product

   works of a vacume and has a small diaphram inside, putting i higher pressure one on will give slightly better throttle response and produces a strong fuel mixture with better attomisation, iirc standard vts fpr is 3bar

    Who do you trust on the matter, the people who are Peugeots sport arm; or - no offence to them- a salesman?

    I think i'd rather go with the "salesman" (GMC) as you call them!!
    
    but then again, i suppose 30+ years of car tuning is not to be trusted one bit is it?

    Im not saying theyre not to be trusted, but GMC will set out to make a living from selling parts like FPR's, not compete and win championships. Pug Sport as a rule, is the opposite.
    
    If you really want a 4bar FPR, raid a newish VW/Audi at a scrappy. No point going new, an FPR is the kind of thing thatll never break.
