No, you need the proper rising rate Turbo regulator. This will ensure the fuel pressure stays above that of the boost. *smiley*

the fuel pressure on the a series turbo varies depending on boost, the more boost you run the more fuel pressure you need (rising rate) do a search for more info.

Sold the turbo and seeing what the C20XE can do!

Near Lincoln

that reg in the ebay link is a rising rate by the looks of things.

but i dont think it will be that easy to adjust the pressure down low enough since its designed for fuel injection.

As Iain said.

Fuel injection will be somewhere around the 3 bar (45psi) area.

You need to find one for use with carbs which run a base pressure of around 1/4 bar (3.5 - 4 psi)

Every day is a school day ...........

How fast and how expensive ...... the same question...
