Your current setup isn't clear: Are you saying that you have the stock FPR installed on the aftermarket fuel rail you are using with the 1600 secondary injectors?

I recommend you get a fpr either Turbo XS, HKS, or Aeromotive.

Do you have an FC or an FD?

If FD, you can't be running a stock secondary rail with 1600 injectors.

for that setup you dont need a aftermarket fpr however a fp gauge would be a good investment. thats about the limit of the stock fpr...

Let us know what you make with that setup since its exactly the same as mine, with the exception of the 4" downpipe

Those rails wont support 1600 TOP FEED injectors. The stock rails are side feed.

Uhhhm, whens the last time you looked at a RE Motor? Next time you make it up to PHX give me a call and ill show you my stock RE Fuel Rail with 1600cc top feed injectors in them. They are top feed stock but will not support bosch 1680cc injectors. The primaries are side feed.
