set it to 2.5 bar or roughly 37 psi vacuum pipe on at idle once the car is up to temp.
Are you having the car remapped ??

Standard fuel pressure is around 3 bar, not sure what that is in PSI.

Should be 3 bar above manifold pressure as a starting point. Remove the vacuum hose at idle and then adjust to 3 bar, then re-connect vacuum hose. My opinion is that it should be fitted and adjusted just before a re-map, so it can be set and mapped from there. Fitting without mapping then I would set it to 3 bar above manifold pressure, then monitor lambda and listen for det on a rolling road, then maybe tweak it to suit.
