The pressure regulator is a diap hragm-operated valve that regula tes fuel-rail pressure at 3,0 bar above the intake manifold
pressure. A pipe connects the throttle induction elbow to the pressure regulator to provide the vacuum control signal. On
supercharged engines, the pressure regulator vacuum feed is taken from the top of the supercharger outlet duct.
The regulator is fitted between the rear end of the right-hand fuel rail (bank 1) and the fuel return line to the tank.
