> Bob- I ran that fuel pressure regulator on my early turbo, and had absolutely

   no problems with it. I was using it because I was also running a dcoe weber 

   on it, and the webers want 2.5 psi instead of 7-8 psi that the stock corvair fuel

   pump can put out. I put something like 30,000 to 50,000 miles on it, without

   any problems at all with the regulator.
