Cant figure out what purpose those springs and small rubber stops serve. Perhaps they regulate the flow of fuel injecting towards the high pressure pump or they regulate the volume of fuel returning to the tank? Its hard to see if the springs (can open and close the black rubber stops) because of the tiny spaces they fit in. I just find it weird.

This is a restriction in he fueling system for sure. Precison Raceworks has a solution to this that is almost ready for sale. It is a beautiful piece of CNC aluminum!
I thought presale already started on the regulator hat? Haven't heard anything about the high voltage fuel pump driver though.

There are 3 or 4 different new fueling products coming out, interested to see pricing

This driver side fuel filter assembly, is this the same as the fuel sender unit that is known to cracked?
I remember mine was replaced by my mechanic when I smelled fuel in the cabin.
So if they replaced the fuel sender unit, does that mean the whole piece including the filter was replaced?

Does anyone have any review for the Precision Raceworks Fuel Pump Regulator upgrade? On the site, it states it replaces the filter as well.

Yes, it can't be replaced without filter.

Yes I probably replace at least one a month on E and F series. I've also seen the passenger side crack around the top as well, although not near as often.
