there's no need at all to use one of these, so it matters not if it will fit.

i was told with one of these, and 0.7 bar boost can run nearly upto 200bhp? or is this completly wong

Stock boost is set at 0.65bar. 1bar may see you nearer 200bhp though.

The adjustable regulator is simply necessary for setting a specific fuel pressure. If you increase your boost level then you need more fuel, and the regulator makes that possible.

Increasing the fuel pressure alone will result in increasing only your fuel consumption.

If your are going to run a bar I think people who have had the rr'd say that they can run lean at the top as the injectors can't quite keep up. So if you upped the fuel pressure slightly this might help, but you will unfortunately be too rich off boost and in the mid-range so your economy will probably suffer.

 

If this doesn't matter to you then it will probably be ok to use, though tbh quite a few people including myself run at a bar with standard injectors/fuel pressure and have had no problems at all, so I wouldn't bother myself.

 

I would guess you will be around the 200bhp mark at 1 bar with decent exhaust/ filter/engine anyway, I haven't had mine rolling roaded but they way it goes would suggest that its around that figure.

 

ETA - My standard boost pressure is 0.5 bar (7 psi) so I wouldn't have thought you would get anywhere near 200bhp with 0.7bar.

I would only bother using one of these if you are considering bigger turbo / bigger injectors / mappable management ,otherwise you'll just be wasting you hard earnt £'s
