    i was tbh one of the 1st, along with Bigrotch that i know of to find a direct fit FPR thats made by bosch.

    You will get better mpg if driven easy and flames wen not lol. But i wont be held responsible if it bore washes your engine. It hasnt and didnt his or mine and mine run for around a year with no adverse effects. But could be summit to bare in mind.

    did you actually work out the MPG or just use the trip computer, because the trip will be wrong as the ecu will of reduced the injector duty because of the increased FPR

    This is the one I'm running and it's a direct fit on my 95. I swapped to this early on with stock ECM and pretty much stock everything. Once you start to modify your engine and you are needing more fuel the ECM can run the injectors "ON" time or dwell shorter and spray in the same amount of fuel. Never had a problem in the sub zero winter starting or hot starting in summer. The computer "learns" and just fires the injectors for a shorter period of time.

    Does anyone know if this will fit? It's a 3.8 bar reg for a Vauxhall vectra,

    Think that's the US bosch number Kiss4afrog? Can't find the UK alternative?

    The one in the ebay link isn't going to fit an 850.

    Bosch is German and I thought their part number would be the same no matter where you're trying to find it.
    They do have them at Summitracing, ebay and amazon.

    Has anyone ever experimented with crushing the fpr.

    I sure that I heard that increases the pressure.

    doubt this is of any help to anyone but I noticed today when servicing an e46 BMW that they run a fuel filter with built in return and regulator that is set at 3.5 bar, would be an easy fit if you did away with the volvo fuel filter and mounted the BM one towards the front of the car.

    if it get's as bad as mine, it will scrap the engine, what exactly do you think you will acheive with higher fuel pressure?

    Have you tried just unplugging the vacuum pipe. My understanding is that the vacuum just lowers the fuel pressure when the throttle is closed to prevent it running momentarily rich when you lift off.
