Default When do you need a Fuel Pressure Regulator
I have a bbk fpr sitting here and am wondering if I should use it. Iv heard you dont need them unless you have bigger injectors and major mods? Any truth to that.

you ALWAYS need a regulator. Your stock rails have one (hidden under the intake) but it's non adjustable. I think it's mandatory to put an adjustable regulator along with a fuel pressure gauge (Thats how to test your pressure).

how much do you want to sell it for? Its not nesc. unless you have a bunch of mods. The factory sets their pressure at 38 lbs I think.

well if you don't want to, or don't think you need to, drop me a PM and I might be interested. I'll be looking for one in a couple weeks.
