Default Stock fuel rail question

Im getting ready to install my Begi S4 kit and im kind confused on how to get around my stock fuel pressure regulator. Do i need to buy an aftermarket fuel rail to bypass the FPR. I have an AEM FPR and need some guidance.

Install Megasquirt.

Install better injectors.

Sell AEM FPR.

Profit.

I used the m-tuned rail for mine so I could ditch the fpr because the 044 pump is just way too much for the oem regulator to handle.

Doing a cheap starter kit on bandaids is one thing... doing a powerful S4 kit that will rip a hole in your block on spool up on the other hand....

Especially when "not skimping" is like $200. You could put on an MS2 for pocket lint.

PSI is a measure of restriction, not flow. Your 255 liter/hour pump will flow more than enough fuel.

If he's only measuring 31 psi in boost either his measurement is done wrong, or the fpr is broken.

No sorry guys that fuel measurement is for a stock system stock fpr stock pump and naturall aspiration. So the consensus is to run the 255lph pump and stock fpr the turbo kit is going on now

That is probably idle pressure. IIRC is should bump up to around 45-50 under load.
