Yes, a regulator is necessary with any pump, regardless of capacity. As long as you're using the stock fuel rails, you can stick with the stock regulator though.

If his only modification is another pump, it must be plumbed in series with the stock pump, possibly via a catch tank, thereby pumping fuel to the stock rail and the stock regulator.
