Is this a static test or engine running test?
Thanks

I have no real answer for ya buddy.

I have heared that it's supposed to be 43psi and rise 1psi per 1psi of boost.
My AutoMeter gauge shows 60psi constant, I might have a problem with the gauge or the fuel pressure regulator though.

That was directly from the Bentley manual. According to that it should show 50 +- 3 psi when running for S and 43 +- 3 psi on coopers.
