I've got one,

Too be honest it was a bit overpriced. Not sure how much they are now.
I paid $380 for it. Most of which I think went into the fitting to fit the magna fuel rail. That's what I was told but but the fitting wasn't anything fancy.

To hook it up will take about 30 mins.
It's pretty much just remove the old one, put the fuel rail fitting onto the fuel rail, hook the existing fuel hosing up to the new regulator, & then find a place to mount your regulator.

Depending on where you mount the regulator you may need to get a longer fuel hose.

Then you just tune it. My pressure sits at around 45 PSI at idle.

I have one - price I can't recall but it has helped remove flat spot on deccelerating at around 1400 rpm when crawling in traffic - like along the freeways at peak :nuts:

As it was fitted with hi-flow TB and some other stuff, can't isolate benefits/detriments to the FPR by itself.

Take your VIN number to Mitsubishi and buy the fuel rails joiner pipe.Cut the one off that you need to replace the regulator with (only one of the two will fit).Using the brass fitting tube that come with the regulator go the a Mechanic and he can drill the center of the fitting out, cut the brass to size (length) then oxy weld the fitting in.Or you should be able to buy the fitting from RPW???
