You need a rising fuel pressure regulator to "control your fp." the walbro 190 or 255 have nothing to do with directly controlling your fp. The star uses the vortech fmu.

Read my first post again. Yes it is fine to control fp.

You'll just have to choose the right ratio disk with the FMU. You'll also want the Walbro 255 high-pressure pump as a minimum. But, I wouldn't copy Star's fuel setup. It is marginal, at best. I would copy HRC's fuel system, except adding the S-FMU instead of the Cartech FPR.

i'm surprised he made it that far w/o a response like that. to be totally honest w/ you there is unlimited amounts of reading you need to do on this forum before you invest in something that could melt your engine. these are all questions that have been answered time and time again. i'm just trying to be helpful

If you wanted to be helpful, you would have told him to not even bother turboing his car until he notices the difference between fuel control and fuel set up. Dude, do yourself and the car a favor and do more reading.

hey just to let you know i do know the difference between fuel control and my fuel setup!! and i have read the post and have done my research maybe just not well enough. ill admit that. the subject changed to fuel setup when i was told i should have my fuel setup like hrc. that wasn't my 1st question though. and y i mentioned which pump i should get was based on weather or not a 190 would flow wnough fuel or if i would need something bigger. so don't talk if u don't know what i was intending!!

Use the 190 to control your fp.
