BBK and Southbay FPR are the same

fairly easy to put on took like 2 hours or so i think you reuse the spring in stock regulator

only bad thing i noticed is that its kinda hard to adjust
and you would need to take off upper intake

need to use open ended wrench due to the fact tat adjustment bolt is very close to the underside of intake i had to remove my map sensor to adjust it easier because FPR is angled

theres been complaints of vacuum hose coming out when trying to remove it as its just pressed in

but once you adjusted its golden i also recommend replacing diapfram a the same time as old one tends to rot away idk whats been done but just fyi

but nice piece it does its job

same thing just easier to adjust due to its flat dial by hand instead of small bolt

alittle more expensive still have to take apart upper intake to install only difference is you can adjust by hand is it better probably not is it easier to adjust fuel pressure yes both does its job

you propbably hear and see good and bad things about both or anything you buy nowadays
i used BBK/Southbay style and it did its job adjust it and leave it yes its a little hassle but ask yourself how many times are you really going to adjust the fuel pressure on your car ?

but one thing is for sure if you do change replace your diapfram
