Default Do I need to change from my B&M fpr to a better one..say AEM??

I am installing my turbo and right now on my car I have a B&M fpr, I have heard that sometimes the B&M cant withstand the added fuel pressure, I have a walbro 255lph, and 2 additional 440cc injectors. I wanna know should I upgrade to an AEM fuel pressure regulator? Or will the B&M be ok? Thanks

I've read on more then a few occations of people having issues with the AEM. Why not get yourself an Aeromotive if you wanna upgrade?

i would say try it with the b and m.....if your fuel pressure is to high and gets stuck...switch to a aem or sx, or aeromotive. i switch to a aem and have not had any problems yet. the problem with the b and m is the stock honda orfice is to small and it wont let the fuel return quick enough.

i went from b&m to aem strictly cuz i needed to turn my pressure down a lil. for what it does tho there's nothing wrong with the b&m. it worked fine when i had it. if u need to have the option of turning pressure down, i would say go with the aem for the sake of simplicity and price, or sx or aeromotive if you can afford it.

I thought that the AEM was only a riser and could not bring the pressure down like the Aeromotive FPR, is that true?
