Hmm... that looks like an uprated fuel pressure regulator?? Maybe it hasn't always been standard?

nope as said, no gauges inside or anything. im thinking whether the car was slightly modified before i bought it, and only partially returned to normal.

when i had it serviced at scoobybits, jse mentioned something about it being a fuel regulator. is it best just to rip it off?

the red tube attaches to the top of the gauge thing...

1 minute and il take another pic...

the red "rope" looking tube is the vacuum line for the regulator.

Have you a boost controller?

Im still curious about that black tube that is "T'd" into the other black tube.
