Re: fuel pressure regulator
You install in the stock location, between the fuel rail and the return line.
Not to be a dick, because that is not my aim at all, if you dont know where it should go then you should have help from a friend or have it done by a shop. If it was something that wouldnt have serious repercussions if installed wrong, such as a short throw or a catback, then I'd say use it as a learning experience. However, if you install a FPR wrong there is any number of bad things that can happen such as an engine fire or a mis-set fuel pressure.

Re: fuel pressure regulator
Yea if you set your fuel pressure incorrectly or its not functioning properly you might run very lean and knock your engine out as soon as you hit boost.

Re: fuel pressure regulator
The reason you buy a fpr is so that it can keep the fuel pressure stock even when the fuelpump wants to flow more. Don't increase the pressure.
