It is infact a geniune item. Purchased from a very large Aeromotive distributor in the SE. I bought he same unit for my Evo and after repairing Ted's decided to open mine up to have a look. I didn't have any damage, as Ted did, but I had a flat anadized base with no tapered ball seat. I decided to go ahead and cut a seat in mine since that improved things for Ted.

^ Looks like you have a different model than Ted and I have. Ours is the "Compact" version which only has one return port. Maybe Aeromotive cheaped out when they made these. Ted and I got ours over a year apart so I doubt it was a bad batch. This model may be made elsewhere....

I am just putting this out there, do what you guys want with it. There is absolutely NO need to have an adjustable regulator on 99% of the EVO's. It's a mess if you ask me, uncalled for expense, crappy AN hoses etc. There just isn't a need for it.
Bolt the stock regulator back on, it works great and fits like it is suppose to.

Agreed, an aftermarket rail and regulator do not deliver a peformance improvement. In my case, I wanted teflon lines and a FP gauge, which turned out to be useful in my particular, somewhat unusual situation, which involves E85. Otherwise, I'd have just left it all as-is.

I have verified that it does not inhibit the Bernoulli effect that siphons fuel from the auxiliary section of the tank to the main section.

If that happens, the easy modification I described here will fix the issue (at no cost):

EDIT: BTW, nice to see that you're still around.

The factory siphon has proven to be the bottleneck in aftermarket setups (like mine) that must return greater fuel volumes at low load situations as a result of increased pump capacity. Regardless of upgrades made to the FPR and return system, the siphon remains the weak link in that part of the system. That much we know.
What we don't know is if the factory FPR and/or return line are collectively less capable than the siphon, but my hunch says 'no'. Fortunately, all it takes is a 9/64" (3.5mm) drill bit, a few hand tools, and about 20 minutes to verify.
As for my disappearance, I needed to devote my mental energies elsewhere for the time being. Otherwise, I've not (yet) met an untimely demise...
