What about a Charged Air FPR? I believe they're hard to get ahold of but Import Evolution in Waterloo (www.importevolution) has them I know. Didn't Tym out @ Buschur also put together a FPR?

I have the buschur setup. Nice and easy. No need to add 10lbs to the car in extra AN fittings or mount it on the firewall. Bolts right up to a stock car.

Go with the aeromotive. There are kits available for mounting (DSMotorsport?) or you can order the parts yourself.

Sorry to sound like a dick but does anybody have actual experiences with any specific FPRs that you can post up?

Uhhh..., I do. I have the buschur setup as I stated above. The things I like about it are:

-easy to adjust, all you need is an allan and a cresent wrench
-no heavy ball of shit to mount on the firewall
-no need to special order all the AN fittings to connect as it is a direct bolt on
-costs $275 new for everything including a gauge. I bought mine used from Patrick (zelp). Usually people spend ~$200 when making the big ball, AN, firewall mounting one

Enes, if you end up stopping up at QPR, take a look at it. It is there with my head. Mine is anodized red unlike the purplish one on buschur's site.

FPR's w/ install kits and a gauge don't even cost $275 if you know what to buy.

Install kit w/ gauge from FIC or other places $$120

AFPR: $135

Total: ~$255

John has an areomotive set up. It is a very good regulator. When he switched to twin 255's his base FP didn't change. I was going to get the FTS bolt on one, but whent the poor man's route, twin stockers.

I know. I paid $250 with a new fuel filter included. You proved my point. If I were to buy another, I would buy the Buschur. By your calculations, it would only cost $15 more to piece together a kit. I would much rather buy one product from one place than several products from several places. To me, the convienece alone is worth the $15. Shipping may eat that up though... I would rather buy the parts from a known DSM company that a few universal parts.

I also use the aeromotive, as does Nash. I am not sure what "heavy ball of shit" HORT man is talking about, but mine was nearly a bolt on. I also went with a digital fuel pressure guage that mounts inside the car, that way I can see if I ever out run my fuel pump! It was only $60 more than a standard engine bay one.

The "heavy ball of shit one" is what I call one that someone has to buy $80 in AN fittings and mount the fucker on the firewall.

First, AN fittings are aluminum, they weigh practically nothing. If you're too much of a sally to worry about fitting up your own fittings and braided line then it's no wonder you can't handle buying parts from more than one place.
