    Is anyone running a boost controller, boost gauge and a fuel pressure regulator?

    I've currently got all 3 to go on the car but I can't get my head around the vacuum lines.

    Could someone talk me through what needs to be done?

    I've looked at loads of different You Tube clips and loads of forum posts but I can't see anything for my setup.

    Boost controller goes between the actuator on the turbo and one of the inter cooler pipes.

    boost gauge goes from any vacuum hose, easiest one is to tee off the hose that goes to the dump/diverter valve.

    why do you need to fit a fuel pressure regulator?

    Just like Chriscooke said. FPR goes to the engine side of the plenum. Are you replacing the stock FPR with something else?

    FPR + Boost gauge can go on any vac hose after the throttle body.

    Boost controller, it depends which one it is...

    How much power you running? I have 290 bhp and no FPR.

    As mentioned above, any vac line after TB for boost gauge and boost controller, I have one after the TB and another on the hot side. It's a HKS EVC 5

    I'm getting told by Protuner it will be somewhere between 350bhp - 400bhp.

    It's got 740cc Nismo injectors, GT2871R, vag coilpacks, R35 maf and all of the normal supporting mods.

    That sounds awesome! Do you have a project thread?

    I’ve got a similar set up running over 400 on the standard fpr. What fuel pump are you running?

    I did think about it as it was a reshell but I never got round to it.

    It's had a lot done to it so far and it has some coop parts on it. I just want to get it up and running as soon as possible.

    It's got the Walbro upgrade, I don't remember which one though.
