i'm not running one, but i will add one in the future.

You can get the power you are after without one. If you want some extra safety, then yes get one.

Although i don't see much point of adding a FPR if you are not adding parallel fuel rails.

Not needed but I put one on to be on the safe side. Especially if running parallel fuel rails as said above.

Again its up to you if you want to play safe. (looking at the engine from the front of the car)Normally fuel gets to the cylinders in this order:

back right
front right
front left
back left

and then back to the tank. When fuel reaches the last cylinder, it has lost some pressure. By upgrading to parallel fuel rails, you are ensuring that all cylinders get fuel equally.

Yes, you still use top feed injectors.
They are £175 from lateral performance. Up to you if you want to fit them, you could just wait for a second hand set to pop up.

make em yourself, quite easy tbh

you will need a a pipe flarer, 2 3 way splitters and good petrol hose. havent done it on a newage did it on my classic when it was rebuilt, trouble is you need to take the inlet off really

it will need to be checked rather than a remap and the fpr will have to be set-up, if your set-up is running ok , i wouldnt bother

yep, just a tweak. Probably worth doing a few other mods at the same time so the tweak is worth it.

I might not bother then. Will it hold me back or just run lean?

Neither mate. It is only a safety precaution. Mine is making over 430bhp guesstimated at 1.6 bar on standard rails and regulator and not running lean. figures are a bit low as heads not working. faulty NPS.
