Need a ramp up fuel pressure regulator

I have a 2000 Accord v6 that's supercharged as a daily. my fuel pressure regulator went bad. There's little to no information on the Comptech one, and they don't sell it anymore. From what I found its a 6:1 or 8:1 or 10:1 ramp up regulator. It is set around 60psi fuel pressure with 20lbs vacuum at idle, but under boost it should be at 100-105psi. with a 10:1 for each lb of boost the regulator pushes the fuel pressure up 10 psi. so 5 psi boost = 50psi fuel pressure increase. Not sure what regulators people have used in place of them if any. Kind of lost and my car is down because of it. Any help would be appreciated.

Maybe someone has a good idea of what FIC I could use that's not $1000 and get the car tuned right and go with a regular fpr instead of the comptech one. E-manage is about $1000 and that's a lot for what I need. Its a daily driver haha

I'm not sure what others have done with this specific setup, but a universal FPR should do the trick. We've had luck with the aeromotive units.

As for a tuning option the AEM FIC is $414.12.

Yeah I think im going to go with the AEM FIC. Now I don't know if I will be able to use a regulator FPR like this one you suggested or not. Its a 1:1 with boost, so 5 psi boost is 5 psi fuel pressure. Comptech one goes 40-60 psi higher under boost. Don't know if the FIC can make up for that much fuel differential or not.

If you are still looking for one, I can dig in my old build notes. I used one on my 318 into a Wrangler build I did a few years ago. send me a PM if you need the resource.
