Default Question about fuel pressure regulators

So I have just had my 3rd fuel pressure regulator go bad on me and I come to you with questions.

I should clarify that the first 2 were original to the car and the 3rd was one I puled off my 88 parts car. I now, however, find myself out of spares. So since I am buying new should I stick with the OEM Bosch ones or is there anything aftermarket out there that might be a touch more reliable?

Thanks.

If the old parts were original and only recently failed...could they really be unreliable? 20+ years?

I'd just go Bosch again.

As much as saving a couple bucks would be nice with an off brand, stick with Bosch. Bosch is going to be your best bet for a long-lasting quality part. Don't get it off Pelican though (made that mistake before), hit up Napa or the like and save yourself $20.

The Bosch FPR's are notorious for not flowing as advertised, especially the 3 bar ones.

You should check your fuel pressure after installing what ever you buy.

Thanks for the tips. I seem to be finding the FRRs for about $85 or so for each one. Which is about what I was expecting. will make sure to check the fuel pressure too.

Factory fuel pressure spec is 70psi correct?

no, stock is 2.5 bar = ~35-40 psi range static FP
