Had the car mapped by Leighton a few months ago at 261 bhp. Since then I have fitted iridium plugs and yesterday fuel pump mod and 3.8 FPR. My hybrid has just arrived off RMJ (thanks Rob :)) so will fit that tomorrow and then fit the FMIC next week when that gets here. Will it be ok to run like this for a couple of weeks until I can get it back to leighton to map ? Ta. Paul

Shouldn't think you'd need the FPR - depends what hybrid it is. I'd leave it off and get Leighton to fit on the day if he finds he needs the extra fuel pressure.

Leave the FPR off for Leighton to fit, what chip is currently in the ecu? if its standard keep the revs down as with out proper mapping atc the fuelling is more than likley to be Lean higher in the rev range.
In general its fine to drive the car with these mods but if the car is 'put through its paces' in this state without as map, there is risk of internal damage due to fueling/ignition timing differences etc.

Don't install the 3.8 bar fuel pressure regulator. You may add too much fuel to the mix. As said before wait until you map it again and let Flea add the fpr if it's necessary.
