Not seen an online guide but you can be pretty sure anything german in the scrapyard will have a bosch unit.

DO Bosch even make fuel pressure regulators ??

Why do you specifically want Bosch if they do ? Industry standard is pretty much 3 bar, so the majority of regs will be 3 bar.

I think the Fiat Coupe's came with bosch ones, I'm sure someone on FCCUK will have one going spare, as people like to upgrade to a 3.8 bar.

Nobody asked about Marelli, I know they make some.

What sort of reg is already fitted ? and are they known to have problems ?

Ive seen plenty of 2.0 turbo cars with OE regulators making in excess of 500bhp with no issues.

In most cases, OE regs will only become a problem, when the fuel pump is too much for it to handle, and that will show itself more so at idle, when it has to cope with more fuel.
What car is it ?

Why not an aftermarket reg ? or is that for cost reasons.

I have an FSE boostvalve on there currently, so am hoping to get rid of that. I'm also keen to get the pressure regulator on the end of the fuel rail to minimise oil leak potential. The FSE BV is located right next to the exhaus manifold currently. I'm looking to compete this year so looking to make the car safer and optimise everything I can
