Default Help, About to Turbo. Help... FPR questions

Setup: Stock B16a2 205-210 compression across the board.

Walboro 255 LPH Fuel pump (Installed)

440cc RC injectors or 750cc RC injectors
AEM Fuel Rail.(Installed) w/stock FPR

Turbonetics couplings and T-bolts Clamps (Installed)
Moroso Oil pan or a GSR oil pan tapped

Questions:

I had a Question about if I would need a AFTERMARKET Fuel Pressure regulator for this?

Would I need a Fuel Pressure Gauge to be on the Safe side? Also what type of Fuel Pressure Gauge should I get that goes over the Stock Fuel Filter, and what type of Fitting adapter do I need in order to install it over the fuel filter?

I tried to install my AEM Fuel pressure regulator, and the Fuel Pressure gauge needle went around 1 whole time and the needle stayed under 0.... Im confused...??? I know I installed it right, because there were no leaks...

Everyone is telling me I need a FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR for my setup??? Im confused... wouldnt my 440cc or 750cc be good enough for this? since I already installed my fuel pump..

Im just trying to get everything answered that I need before I throw on everything, and then Lean out or Rich it out and cause detonation and Blow my Motor, this is my DD so I want to make sure everything is alright..

Anything you might want to help me out with....

All help would be appreciated...

I would put one in. You have some nice parts on your car, spent the extra $150 and be safe.

Yeah, But why does my FPR act weird? Its a AEM FPR, but the Gauge always reads under 0 Like it goes around 1 full time and the needle stays under 0psi.. Its a Liquid filled gauge

AEMS are GARBAGE...


If you like your motor, and dont want to blow it the **** up due to an AEM regulator shitting itself..... Go Aeromotive.

AEM fpr's are junk. AEM does make a remote fpr that is way nicer then the rail mounted one.
