Replacing regulator instead of cpi

I am going to replace just the regulator instead of the entire cpi unit. But the torx bit they sent with the regulator doesn't fit into the regulator. What size is the bit supposed to be? The bit they sent me has CR-VT-15 stamped on it.

Going on #3 now

Both of my TPI firebirds were not, but they sell them or just the cap with the adjustment screw in them. Where is the CPI regulator and how hard to get too ? Which size torx bit ? I already have a pressure gauge so I think I'll try raising it a bit. Thx for any info.

The CPIs are different. I have a couple here right in front of me. the reg. adjustment screw uses a tamper proof T-10 torx bit, bad part is you have to take the upper manifold off to get to it. The reg. is integrated & pressed closed, if it goes bad or you need to change it you have to buy a whole new one..

if the regulator goes bad, you need to buy a new regulator
