What's the best Fuel Pressure Regulator?

Since I'm running a completely different setup then I was last year, I need to acquire another fuel pressure because the FPR on the engine right now isn't designed for a boosted engine. I haven't really done that much research into them, but it's a turbocharged engine. I'm assuming that I'll need one that has some level adjustment (can change the amount of fuel pressure increase). Are there FPRs out there which allow you to adjust the point (boost level) at which the FPR starts increasing fuel pressure?

What do you guys recommend?

Thanks!

You will need one made specific for turbo engines.The one below by Holley is for fuel injected turbo angine's and comes with a vac/boost port.

You need a rising rate FPR. Im not sure but I think its something like 11 psi of fuel presure for every pound of boost. Dont quote me.

The aeromotive is what I will be using as well.

This Aeromotive FPR is the exact same FPR used in all of our $2500 fuel systems we sell to 93+ Supras. We use this exact regulator on our 8 second, 1208rwhp Supra as well. The quality & finish are the best in the market.
That ebay auction is cheap too. Grab it.

what are you running for fuel managment? , a rising rate regulator is kinda getto, but it will work if you don't have any way of tuning your setup

What are you talking about?

I think an EManage is the best thing next to full standalone. Definately better then an SAFC.
