The most popular 2 are BEGI unit and the other fixed ratio ones that Vortech sells(Bosch[?]).

Most here use the BEGI units, as they have the most versatility, but cost more.

I found a BEGI unit that sells for $250 at a random place. It looks exactly like the rising rate fuel pressure regulator that TCD sells.... is it the same thing?

ok now im looking at lightningmotorsports.com and it seems they are the same thing. From them it's $179 and from TCD its $225. Is there any difference in these FPR's?

Don't know, Ive never run one and I don't know of any BMWs that have used them. Most purchase the BEGI unit.
