Or you could be a complete moron and grab it with pliers and snap it off like the previous owner of my last car did rendering it useless for normal operation lol

Do you need a fuel regulator? or can you just run straight from the pump to the injectors?

YES, you need a fuel pressure regulator in the system.

High fuel pressure at idle, Low pressure at wot. Erratic pressure in between.
