A pretty reputable rotary mechanic out here installs a rising rate fuel pressure regulator when he does anything more than cat back, DP, and filter.

not completely necessary...if you upgraded the fuel pump and injectors for single turbo use on our cars..and that combination flowed enough fuel and the fuel pressure remained high enough.

What exactly is the RRFPR? Where does it live under the hood? (or, does it live there? if not, what's there now that it would replace?). I know very little about the FD fuel system, so anyone with lots of experience on this is welcome to pipe up.

A band-aid? I think of it as more a necessary part of a well designed system.

On my car, the RRFPR sits on the fuel return line. By adjusting the amount of fuel it lets through, seeing as how the fuel pump is pumping at a constant flow, you can set the base fuel pressure as seen by the fuel rails. When connected to a vacuum line, the RRFPR will raise and lower the fuel pressure during driving typically at a 1:1 ratio.

I don't know what the limitations of the stock FD fuel system are, but on my TII, it was around 220 rwhp. With a T04 upgrade on a TII it became necessary to remove the entire system and replace it with something that will flow more, in my case, an SX pump, filter, and regulator, 1600cc secondary injectors, and -10AN SS fuel lines. OK it is overkill but think long term so you only have to do it once...

Unless you are making some big power (over 400rwhp) you shouldn't need it.

humm the stock fpr is 1:1 ratio, I thought the whole point of RRFPR is that it alows u to raise fuelpressure in multiples of boost pressure? say 2:1 or 3:1
