Re: Injectors/FPR/Fuel Questions

You can tune around it easy. Yes, it is nice to have, but it isn't not a big deal nor hard to tune around, unless you you have a dual fuel pump setup or some massive single pump. A lot of people get an aftermarket FPR setup, but miss 10 other things that should have been fixed or upgraded instead of the FPR. There should be no drop in mpg or anything if some attention is given to the tuning.

I wouldn't call putting an ebay FPR on a car a safety net, I would call it a very dangerous potential failure point.

With the ability to tune the fuel injector size, latency times and MAF compensation in DSMLink or with a chip tune, overrun usually becomes a very minor issue. Most people have boost/vacuum leaks, idle motor problems, FIAV problems, etc that cause more trouble than some overrun. If you goto a speed density setup with DSMlink or AEM EMS, then overrun is a total non-issue.
