What kind of regulator did you buy, and from where? I've been looking all over the internet to buy one that I can mount on my EFi fuelrail. I've seen burtonpower has got one that fits, but it does'nt have a gauge. So Im basically looking for a adapter to fit where the original fuel pressure regulator is on the fuel rail, so I can use the regulator of my choise, but I cant find an adapter like that ANYWHERE! Maybe you know?

Thanks!
