it raises the fuel pressure to compensate for the amount of boost you are running. reason for this is your actual injected fuel pressure, if normally 58psi, if you are running 10psi of boost, your actual injector fuel pressure is 48psi; and at that pressure you have to ensure your fuel injectors flow enough to keep up with your setup.
for every pound of boost you increase, the regulator also increases to maintain the equivalent same fuel pressure
