thanks!!


spec shows KOEO 55-61 PSI

I had a WIX brand fail within months, full fuel pump pressure at the rail.... toss it and machined down a bosch fuel fuel regulator and installed it to the stock BMW fuel filter (this was a BMW to LS swap)

also get wayyyyy more filter media in there. only down side is inlet and outlet ports are 5/16


in all of my gen5 swaps, I use a Bosch adjustable fuel pressure regulator and a -6an regulator holder/adapter. dial it in exactly what I need.
