Question Fuel Pressure Regualtor and boost guage questions.

Will this regulator work ok for my turbo setup I am building for my first gen? I am planning to run a s4 turbo and manifold on no more than 5-8 psi to begin with.

Regulator

Also as far as a boost guage can I use an electronic one or do I need a manual one and where might one find something like that. Thanks.

Nope, it won't work. You need a regulator that lets the fuel pressure rise as the boost rises.

Are you talking boost guage or boost controller?

If you mean controller: get a manual if you don't have a large budget, get an electronic setup if you have a big budget.
