KB FRPS disk price increase

[Flyn]

A thread on SVTP says that Kenne Bell has raised the price of their FRPS rubber disk from $5 to $15. This disk helps prevent pressure surges which blow out the Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor. $5 was fair, $15 is pricey for a rubber disk with a small hole in the middle that probably costs $.05 to make. http://www.svtperformance.com/forums/showthread.php?t=372473

I've blown out the FRPS twice. Once with the disk and once without so the disk may help but it doesn't prevent sensor failure. Usually they blow out after a spirited driving session that approaches the rev limiter but my 2nd time was normal driving on Harlem Ave while on my way to work. I had to pull over in a restaurant parking lot, wake Amy up and have her get one from Sutton and bring it out to me. At least I remembered to have her bring my sockets. The replacement is a 2 minute deal if you have the sensor and tools.

You, Lyle, and Dana were nice enough to put one on my car, as well as tell me about them, when Herman was last out here. I have never blown one, before or since then.

Does this disk only apply to Termies or KB GTs too?

Time for LDC to start making some of these puppies! :headbang: Pretty sure you could corner the market if you sell them at $5 like they used to be.
