    Gents, I came across the 2017 Bosch publication for their Fuel Distributor EHA product line. Note Bosch calls the EHA a pressure regulator. The publication appears to show all their revised part numbers, and their application by vehicle. On page 3 below, it shows the old Bosch number 2 437 020 008 for the Testarossa EHA was changed to F 026 T03 009. On page 5 below, it shows the specific Testarossa EHA application is F 026 T03 009. I performed a search of this revised number "F 026 T03 009" in FerrariChat under all forums. Only ONE hit occurred which follows, and it included inputs from Turbo Joe which confirms this revision. Interesting that there were zero other hits. Searching this revised part number on the internet appears to show various available sources for same. It seems to me that use of this revised part number EHA, if available, would obviate the need for retuning and would simply be plug and play. Calling on Romano and Steve M to please weigh in on this observation. Please go easy on me if I am just very late to this party. EDoug

    I found this here:
    https://www.motointegrator.de/artikel/679175-kraftstoffdruckregler-bosch-f-026-t03-002?msclkid=1017538b2f9e1bb5877434ff1db2fa03&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=DE | AOTF | Hersteller Marken [350% 21.06.23] [425% 16.12.24]&utm_term=F 026 T03 002 BOSCH&utm_content=BOSCH + Herstellernummer phrase
    and it seems to be in stock because it says limited quantity


    or here for a horrible price, but also in stock

    A week or two ago I paid less for one that was calibrated from Larry Fletcher.

    No language barrier
    No customs
    No duties
    No DHL shipment delays

    Besides, I no longer trust Bosch for anything.

    A little more research shows in a Bosch catalog F026T03009 crosses to
    EHA#
    2437020008
    0438101024
    0438101034
    0438101224

    And in one place it was called a "Conversion kit".

    Not sure what it all means but it sounds like as they have in the past to provide a part that works. Not necessarily an optimal part.

    In my opinion it would be a good thing if we didn't have Larry Fletcher. And we may not always. Since covid I have lost a lot of subcontractors to retirement. The guys that know this business are all getting old.

    Last time I got EHAs from Larry I talked with his daughter. So hopefully he stays in business for a while.

    Below is page 4 from the above 2017 Bosch publication which contains three additional crossovers to F 026 T03 009, two of which Brian listed above. It may be that the terminology "kit" or "parts set" simply means the additional two o-rings and two screws that accompany the new EHA. EDoug

    It was called a conversion kit. Screws and O rings were always included and was not referred to as conversion kit.
    Like I said, good to know but Bosch has given us very good reason to not trust them. A once great company but it is no more.
    In any event it is not currently a savings and not more convenient than a known good and trusted source.

    Gents, on 12/28/24, I searched the internet and found a vendor in the EU that listed two available, new, ready to ship, Bosch Fuel Distributor EHAs
    with the part # F 026 T03 009. At $307.62 each I purchased two of them. With a weekend and New Years in between, today I received both Bosch EHAs exactly as promised. The full cost along with a couple of pics and an amazing surprise follow. EDoug

    These are the two EHAs that I received with the boxes indicating the revised part # F 026 T03 009. HOWEVER, please note the following "Workshop Instructions" that came with the EHAs show the enclosed EHAs do in fact have the original part # 2 437 020 008. The following pics confirm same.

    Unless I tapped into a time warp, it seems that the original Testarossa EHA is still available as long as you order it as "Parts Set" F 026 T03 009 that has the green o-rings and updated Torx screws. Simply plug and play. EDoug

    you have written a vendor in the EU, so why then the invoice is in $ and not in €?

    i think that is a serious score ! (that's a good thing). I'm from the Bronx (New York). We love a great deal almost as we love anything that "fell off the back of a truck!"

    Their web-site was set up to select any country and associated language. It was already set on US, English and dollars for me. I guess that was just their choice in how to conduct business. The dollars shown in the above order was charged to my credit and no other charges occurred. EDoug
