Just been looking at this fuel pressure regulator on the bay, anyone used one of these as they look like a bargain! I suppose I should wait for the too good to be true, eBay tat don't buy it posts but thought I'd test the water anyway! Lol

cheap tat. this is going to be used in one of the most crucial system in your car. if it fails when it's supposed to be supplying more fuel to your injectors because you've upped the boost on your car, the car will run lean and you will get det and your car engine will explode and you wil weep and wail and gnash your teeth and you will have to pay a load of cash to get a new engine and you will think i wish i hadn't bought that crappy fpr from fleabay.

no cheap options with a Subaru chum. boys on here spend tens of thousands of pounds on engines. you think they are going to risk an engine failure because of a £26 fpr. I am not wanting to sound patronising here and if i do i apologise if you think i am, but i have said it before and people who have spent obscene amounts of money on their imprezas will back me up here, reliability does not come cheap. ok we all want a bargain, but when it comes down to a possible failure of an engine because of a sub standard part they are just not prepared to risk their hard earned money. a good Fpr will set you back £150-£200. that 7-10 times the price of that fleabay item. a quality component, manufactured to very tight tolerances that will have some comeback if it fails. try to get a refund from mr ebay.
sorry if i sound like i am teaching your granny how to suck eggs here, but try to take the advice of people who been there, done that, rebuilt their engine numerous times (x4 for me). we try things, if they don't work out, we try something different. a lot of guys on here have done a lot of development work on their cars. learn from their experience, they will give it freely if you ask the right questions.
