Aeromotive is the best made.Trust, and HKS also make good ones.

To get a good FPR you may have to import it :)

whatever you do DO NOT buy anything AEM.. That regulator is total crap... and AEM doesnt give a fu*K about you once they have your $$.. IF you know anyone stuck with one.. They use Holly carb fitings.. goodluck finding the AEM fittings..

I use a Nismo, works fine and bolts right onto the end of my fuel rail.

Where did you get the Nismo one from?

Another question? Is it really necessary to go with an aftermarket one when I have a standalone computer and 50 lb. injectors? Maybe my logic is flawed, but my injectors are plenty big to handle the kind of boost I'm going to be running on stock fuel pressure, so what is the point of having the abilty to adjust fuel pressure when I can adjust the injector pulsewidth?

Yes, it gives me yet another way to tune my fuel, but it's not necessary, right?

I use a Weapon R Fuel Pressure Regulator and it has a spiffy little gauge. Its very easy to tinker with and they run about 85 bucks. Quality looks fairly decent however aeromotive units are alot better.

Nismo FPR can be ordered through any dealer. I'm at work right now so I don't have my Nismo catalog, I'll post the part number tonight.
