I am going to attempt fitting a fse fpr with gauge from lateral perf to my MY00 UK, has anyone got any pics or info on fitting one of these? does the kit contain enough pipe to do the job??

Cheers

Yup it does contain more than enough piping for the job mate. Best thing is that it works. Oh, dont do what I did and forgot to take away 0.7-0.8 Bar when setting it up.

Do you connect the pipe from the reg directly to the fuel rail or on the top of manifold by the filter?

Yeah directly at the end of the fuel rail. You do know you've got to remove the old fpr right? i just mounted it near the strut as a temporary place.

but if its on the driver side how do you connect the return pipe? using the stuff supplied all the way across the engine bay or to the original under manifold pipework?

Through trial and error. If I can find a pic in my harddrive somewhere, I'll mail it to you. My camera is a bit busted at the moment and am buying a new one soon.

Moved mine over to the right (as you look at it) to the right of the intercooler. Was rather concerned about fuel being so close to the turbo, which apparently gets hot

Fitted mine close to the nearside strut tower up against the bulkhead.
There's an ideal mounting point to fit the FSE's bracket to. All you need to do is remove the rubber bung to expose the screw thread which is behind and mount it there.

The supplied hose for the vacuum/pressure line is long enough to reach the inlet manifold. Don't know about the actual fuel line, cause i replaced the supplied stuff with other.
