i couldnt believe this. i was looking for a good aftermarket AFPR, and in zip products in the forum mall, the AFPR with gaskets is 87.55 :eek:, without gaskets its 37.95 :eek:. this doesnt even include a new pressure regulator diaphram or anything, just a 2 dollar (at the most) metal cap, with a .50 cent screw. this is kind of outragious.

whats bad, is TLD sells that WHOLE runner gasket kit for 10 bucks, the one in the forum mall is only the top runner to plenum. kinda stupid isnt it.

Very. Too bad TLd has a minimum order list though
and $7.50 "handling" charge.
or that would be the way to go.
I say dealer.

anyone know where to get an adjustable fuel pressure regulator with the diaphram inside, or do i need to go ahead and get one from autozone? it doesnt matter if it comes with the new 45 dollar gaskets, ive got new ones already.

Very bad marketing there. Auto Zone has the top end set for about $30.

I think there is one AFPR that comes with the diaphram, but don't remember which.
