Default Did Bosch also make the stock FPR?

My Vitesse chips and 3bar FPR will be arriving later today . (John has been incredibly helpful).

I had a look at my current FPR, just to make sure the previous owner didn't get a 3 bar already, because I'm running a little on the rich side. Well, as far as I can tell it looks like all the other 3 bar Bosch FPR I have seen online.

How can I tell if the FPR I have is a 3bar or the stock 2.5?

The 3bar is black and slightly larger - the stock piece is silver

My 3bar Bosch FPR is gold/silver just like the stock part it replaced. I have seen one in black too.

I have seen a 3 bar that is gold and my stock one is gold. How can I tell what I currently have? Is the 3 bar larger?

Both have part numbers on them.

The Bosch part number for the 3 bar regulator is 0.280.160.249. Should be stamped on the regulator.

It should have 2.5 stamped on the side of it if it is stock.
