That FPR on eBay look like crap. Go for Aeromotive, AEM, B&M, or TurboSmart. Real performance parts aren't cheap.

Seriously. A good friend of mine tried one on a starion tsi, it cracked and started spraying fuel everywhere. The quality looks iffy at best. I'm not knocking ebay parts because there is a lot of good stuff out there but, when it comes to fuel systems you should never go cheap. Just my opinion though, you get what you pay for 90% of the time on ebay. B&m fprs are quality pieces and inexpensive. I personally would use Aeromotive.

Yes this is one of those important parts that I would not be searching eBay for. I personally prefer to buy pieces like this from reputable DSM shops with good customer service.

If you do a little searching, you'll find that there are a few shops that offer kits that include a fuel pressure gauge and all the plumbing you'll need to make the install go a lot smoother.

Aeromotive has been one of the long time favorites for fuel pressure regulators. I would avoid B&M, though. Unless they've recently come out with a new regulator that I'm not aware of, that "Command-Flo" thing of theirs that the Honda boys are so fond of won't work for us. If you're going with a Walbro 255 lph or bigger you're going to need something that will allow you lower pressure. The B&M part I'm talking about will only allow you to raise it above stock.

Exactly, anything that has to fuel system you need the best quality and minimal failure or else disastrous will happen. Aeromotive is topnotch and I'd have to say among the best that specialize in fuel systems.
