Default 1989 BMW 525I FPR

I ordered a 1989 bmw 525i fpr from Auto Zone but the bosch part # is 0.280.160.226. Can anybody tell me if this is a 3 bar fpr. BTW is gold in color not black.

I have a program where I can cross reference part numbers, I just checked and made sure for you... dont worry you got a 3 bar FPR.

My 951 ran a lot better when I installed it. I hope you didnt pay more than $47 for it though.

I have one too but right now I only have an LBE. Should I install mine now or should I wait until I get the Max chip and install the wastegate shims?

How do you install it? Is this a simple removal and install or is there somthing extra you need to do?

Sorry for jacking your thread.

Wait until you get the chip - the 3bar will cause you to run too rich w/ stock chip.

Well I am running europroduct chips, That was the first thing I modded, my question is. Is that chip set up for a AFM because I am running a MAF now. I am thinking of getting the MAX chip. It runs great but I am always tunning on my ARC2.
