    A question for you turbo guys

    I'm now installing the turbo on my M30 and the kit comes with an adjustable fuel pressure regulator.

    The RRFPR installs after the stock regulator. With that being said, where do I install a Fuel pressure gauge?

    Any pictures would help immensely. Thank you very much guys.

    Oh, also, suggestions on which gauge to buy.

    if its installed after the stock regulator, then there is no way that it could get more pressure than what the stock regulator puts out............

      I talked to somebody and they said to put it in the supply line before it gets to the fuel rail. Seems easy enough.

        That is incorrect.

          It goes on the return line after the stock regulator, it basically backs up fuel pressure past the what the stock regulator does.

          It's a very simple concept.

            Why not just replace the stock regulator with the adjustable unit. Is there any advantage to doing it on the return?

              For the TCD turbo kit i bought, the guy who designed it, said it goes in the fuel supply line before the fuel rail.

              I thought it made sense to install it after the stock regulator and before the RRFPR, but i guess not.

                How the hell does that work?

                You can't just replace the stock unit with it either, the rising rate one only works when there's positive pressure, until then, the stock pressure regulator works as if the car doesn't have forced induction.
