Fuel Pressure

Fuel Pressure
How does a higher flow (ie. Bosch or Walbro) fuel pump increase fuel pressure to the injectors if there is a fuel pressure regulator there to reduce it back down to stock levels?
I ask this because I am worried about fuel supply for my TII. I just cleared out the pre-cat, and I am quickly approaching the 8.6 psi fuel cut limit. I intend to get an FCD, but from what I understand that just prevents the ecu from cutting fuel. It doesn't ensure that the fuel supply will be enough to match the air supplied by the turbo. That is the situation that I'm trying to avoid by finding out why a fuel pump does anything if the stock FPR is still intact. Won't the fuel pressure still be the same, or are most people thinking that the stock FPR is too small to purge enough fuel from the rails resulting in higher pressure?
Please help!!

FYI: I installed the RP Competition Fuel Pump and using the stock pressure regulator my fuel pressure at idle went to 55psi. Stock pressure is 34 to 40psi. I was running so rich the car would bearly run. The stock regulator is too small to bypass all the fuel my pump is putting out. I am looking at getting the SX regulator.

is there any stock pressure regulator on the 7's that has higher pressure? i mean, i have an SE, does like a GXL or GTU or even a TII have a better regulator? i just want to know if i can get a better one for my car without paying much at all since i dont have any huge mods yet.
