[V8] fuel pressure regulator

[Seamus O'Carey]

Please double check that info. When I owned a Corrado one of the popular
upgrades was to swap (along with a chip upgrade) from the stock 3.0bar FPR
to a 3.5bar one from a 944.

(They don't specify anymore, but at least at one point all they were selling
were factory 944 FPR's).
