Will an uprated FPR be necessary?
Fixed rate cossie one should do the job if you really want one

You don't need one, wasted expense.
Very hard to setup, requires a lot of RR time. Will give you ballache.
But, those "gsi"' I known who've spent the time to fit it, it really has made a difference.
Friend had his on the rollers 4 times before it was dialed in right. But once it was in, damn that car bloody flew (Exhaust, filter, fpr, 124bhp C16XE).
Paul Belshams for those that remember.

Adjustable regulators are more for adapting to changes in atmospheric conditions - you can richen up the mixture slightly by making a small increase in fuel pressure.
They aren't hard to set up at all. You choose the pressure you want and then map the injectors for that fuel pressure.

a FPR regulates how much fuel goes into your rail, would you really trust a £20 fuel regulator on your nice new 1.8 your gonna whack in your corsa - without it failing and causing detonation...i know i wouldnt
