Default Fuel pressure regulator or fse boost valve?

Hi guys I'm a newbie on here and wondering if any one can point me in the right direction, I'm looking at getting a bit more from my impreza got a few sensible mods and am a bit puzzled about whether to buy a fuel pressure regulator or a fuel boost valve, the difference between them seems to be 1:1 ratio on the fpr or 1:7 ratio on the fse boost valve, and there seems to be mixed options on them both, can any one help me out? Cheers guys

You want a 1:1 regulator not a rising rate 1.7:1 one

Give whoever maps your Ecu an easier time with the fuel tables

Ok cool, does an easier time for the mapper mean a better map? I'm looking at taking it to Duncan at racedynamix, as I've heard good things about them and also he's/they're a supplier / installer of esl daughter boards as my impreza turbos a 98 I need one lol,

have you asked Duncan which he would prefer to map for you? He may have a particular brand that he likes so your mapper should be the first port of call.

My impreza had: td04, grey injectors, sti tmic, hks induction kit, 3" exhaust with de cat running 1bar boost with a prodrive sti ecu,


I've now put a td05 20g turbo, full silicon hose kit including intake, all new oik breathers and vacuum pipes, new dump/recirc valve, yellow phase 2 440cc injectors, four branch manifold 3" full decat cobra exhaust system (heat wrapped from headers and Swan neck, turbo heat blanket, kept the hks induction kit, now looking at fpr/fse valves and fuel pumps and hoping when these are done to get an esl daughter board with a map from Duncan at racedynamix :-)
....
Also have a 42mm race radiator in it too :-)

Injectors are gonna max out way way before the turbo does, you wanna upgrade them first

I was hoping for a solid reliable 320bhp and after Christmas look into parallel fuel lines and larger injectors, possibly top fed, funds are at a budget lol seeing I've just bought a house and this will be my weekend toy :-).

20G @320hp is slow, with lots of lag without the ''umpf'' up top.

meaning: you will want more real soon

Depends on what car.

550CC injectors will support +-400hp depending on the tuner/mods.

They can be had very cheap from an STI with pink topfeeds,

Or UDSM STI models with sidefeeds, are yellow 550cc..

Uprated fuelpump is a good investment.
