I thought the SI don't have a FPR, since the ECU controls the flow? Well at least I don't see one, I only see one line and it's for the fuel, no return line

I just got the AJP turbo and the shop that did the installation had to buil a fuel return line with a regulator.

I don't know why this is nessassary, does anyone know why?

I've seen other turbo kits without one. What's the deal?

Probably to adjust the amount of fuel pressure available under the increased boost you're pushing.

the Si doesn't have a return fuel system. the fuel pressure regulator is in the fuel tank.

the newer cars have a regulator/pump all in one inside the tank. There is no return line going back to the tank. I think they want you to convert your current returnless system to system with a return line and your probably going to have to run a line back to the tank
