Confused about FPR choice
I'm puting the twin-turbo Incon kit on my Trans Am and I'm in need of a fuel pressure regulator. I've called a couple places and they keep telling me I need an Aeromotive 13110 or Magnafuel 9550. However, I don't understand why I can't just use any other Aeromotive FPR as long as it's boost referenced. What is the difference between them and why should I run the 13110 instead of any other boost referenced one? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
I'm looking to buy one if anyone knows of any for sale.
Thanks.

I'm initially only planning on running 8 lbs due to a stock bottom end and I'm planning on running -8 AN fuel line. Also, would you recommend a return line or not? A local speed shop said not to because it just robs fuel pressure in the rails.

dude if you dont plan on over 1000hp to the wheels any fpr for aermotive will pretty much work, i would run a return and it will not rob no pressure put the fpr after your rails and it will keep a maintained pressure in the rails and the left over will be returned.
there is a debate on before the rails and after the rails dont matter but the way i see it is if the fpr is before the rails and you are just cruzin say 30 and the pressure is 60psi and you decide to get on it then your fuel pressure is gunna drop because it will suck the fuel to the motor and then the fpr will catch back up. but.....
if the fpr is after the rails and its maintaining a constant pressure from the fuel the pumps are pushing and say your returning 1 gallon every 5 minutes then when you go to get on it and it sucks the fuel it will keep the pressure the same cuz it can keep up and you may only return say 1/2 gallon every 5 minutes. the numbers are just used to prove my point but at -8 and nothing over 1000hp to the wheels any of the fpr with boost reference would work for ya.
Pm me if you have any ?'s

When the FP reg went bad that came with the Incon kit, I replaced mine with a Weldon 2040 (I think is the PN). this should be it. http://www.weldonracing.com/product/...Regulator.html
Its mounted right near the tank and returns just like the one from the kit. I did have to fab up the fittings to be able to use the GM quick disconnects, but it wasn't too bad.
If I change fuel lines, I might move the reg to the frt after the rails. Undecided yet for sure if I need to do this.
