Noise completely disappeared on a few separate long drives recently and always goes away 95+% while cruising. I'll try some adjustment or be on the lookout for an alternate brand FPR.

Has anyone mounted a FPR directly to their fuel rails? Would this increase the probability of noise due to being closer to a heat source?

Not sure if it applies or matters since I'm using a non-adjustable, but I kept mine in the stock location the B280F engine had, right on top of the intake manifold, even though the engine is the eagle 3.0. Zero noise or problems.

Researched more info on the injectors with a corrected P/N and found data to help. Suggested idle for them is ~43.5PSI on a modern VW engine and the car was set at 40-42PSI since the conversion. Combined with the modern Delphi pump the flow rate is more than needed for a PRV and bumping idle pressure to 50psi reduced whining and smoothed idle a bit. Will adjust fuel tables as needed and see how it goes.
Injectors: BOSCH 028015702

Idle PSI turned up and noise has diminished under most conditions. Good news is that with the size of these injectors I'll never run out fuel.
