I just realised the standard Bosch regulators used on many Audis Mercedes, etc. don't fit The plastic fuel rail as the smaller O ring diameter is approx 1.5mm smaller on the K rail vs the regulators we're all more familiar with.

So, does anyone know what regulators do work, that are vacuum / boost referenced?
One around about 3.5 3.8 bar would be good *smiley*

Give that man a banana !!!

I should have looked at it more closely. Oh well, I'm now using the steel fuel rail with 6AN fittings silver soldered on, which is what I wanted to do in the first place; I just figured the plastic rail would have saved me a little time!

Does the current reg have no reference port on it at all ?

For temp/pressure, you can buy combined temp/pressure sensors.

Yes Steve, the k1200 reg has an open hole port, not a hosetail. So it will adjust to atmospheric only but no chance of feeding boost to it. I like Sprox's idea of splicing a reg end plundered off a different rail onto the end of the steel one; he even added a leakoff port!
I'd purchased the jenvey Bosch regulator housing previously, and it is an absolute gem, so this is what I have ended up using.

I was about to buy the radium, and happened across the Jenvey for 2/3 the price, which made the descision easy!
