I've had the same FPR installed on my rb20det but have read that the gauge is suppose to be installed on the return line and not feedline to get a proper reading. Can someone verify this??? Thanks for the help guys!

You need on the feed line between the fuel filter and injectors because you need to measure the pressure the injectors see, not what goes back to your gas tank.

Fuel pressure regulators go on the return line not the feed... even oem is like that, the fuel enters the rail and gets to the regulator which controls the pressure and lets the extra fuel back into your tank via the return line on the regulator.

Feed line only has a fuel filter on it and a direct connection to your fuel rail.

for a gauge, yes but for a regulator no

it needs to be on the return line because its going to regulate pressure

goes like this

tank > pump > filter > fuel rail/injectors > FPR > return to tank

make sure you get rid of your factory regulator.

FPR will always go after the rail. The gauge or where it reads off of shouldn't matter anywhere between the filter and the FPR (or on the FPR like most), but I guess the most preferred option would be after the rail. FPR after the rail 100% though. Like Joe said, if you need proof, just look at the factory set up.

I thought he was just asking about were to put the gauge so that's all I was talking about. No big deal.

But yeah +1 for joe, and don't forget the gauge goes between the fuel filter and FPR some where to read the pressure the injectors see.
