Default Fuel pressure an Turbo cars...

I was talking with this guy last nite an he told me that I need t set my Fuel pressure accordingly. He said some thing like for lbs of boost you have to adjust you pressure or soem ****. idk what he was talking about. I kinda understand the fpr get will have positive pressure under boost but not understanding it.

As long as you have a vacuum/boost referenced regulator, you'll be fine. The most important part of the equation is proper tuning.

Base pressure should be near stock. You can use your stock regulator which is a 1:1 reference, which means that for every pound of boost the regulator sees, it'll raise fuel pressure by 1psi.

dont need an aftermarket regulator at all...

just make sure you have proper tuning, and the regulator has a proper vacuum source.

No...most are around 41-43 psi, some of the ITR and Accord (i think) are up to 50 psi
