few questions about turboing my car?
Do I need a aftermarket fuel pressure regulator, if so what is a good brand I heard Aem from one of my friends what are some of you running?
Im shooting for about 500 whp so I figure I am going to run about 16, 17 psi, what should I use for spark plugs, one step colder, or two steps?
What is better to use for a return oil line, for the feed im using steel braided, should I use steel braided for just a hose for the return?
May be a few questions I can't think of right now but I will try to think of them.
Thanks Jordan

you should get bigger fuel injectors and a larger capacity pump before you get a fpr. a fpr isn't going to deliver fuel, it just pressurizes the fuel rail basically. your injectors can only spit out as much fuel as they are design to, and if there isn't enough fuel coming to the fuel rail to feed them, well then you can end up with a lean condition and that is going to kill your engine. changing the fpr is a waste of $ imo.

well i already have precision 880 injectors and a walbro 255 fuel pump, I have almost everything I need so far, but I am not sure if its worth it to get a fuel pressure regulator or if I need one.

Stop bumping your thread.
You need an FPR. And you have an FPR. It is good enough.
Decide what kit/parts you're going with first. If you go Greddy it all comes with the kit. Inline - uses the AEM EMS and injectors. Custom - well then you're on your own.
My suggestion - use the time you spend bumping your thread to read a few other threads here. Threads here will answer all your questions, even some you haven't thought of yet.

I have pieced together my own kit, I just need a few more things. I bumped my thread two times? If the search was a little better it would be easier to find things on here, I find some things that say I do need a aftermarket Fpr and some say you dont. I was just trying to get a answer from people that currently have FI cars. Sorry
