Im fitting a Fuelab regulator tomorrow to my 2002 STI, is this correct?
1: Disconnect fuel pump connector at the back of boot/driver side.
2: Remove induction hose
3: Move header tank back slightly
4: Remove existing regulator
5: Take off old hose that was fitted from old reg to fuel return about 2 inch hose.
6: Fit new Fuel rail adaptor with outlet facing the bumper for FPR to be fitted at front of driver side.
7: Mount FPR somewhere, cant find anywhere yet, any ideas?
8: Fit bung to left hand side port of FPR
9: Fit braided goodriche hose to other side.
10: Fit gauge to fron of FPR
11: Fit goodriche hose to bottom of reg.
12: Run hose from right hand side of FPR to adaptor
13: Run hose from bottom of FPR to the return where old reg was connected to
14: Refit fuel pump connector and induction hose and header tank and start engine with vacuum pipe disconnected from manifold?
15: Adjust allan key on top of FPR till i get 3 bar
16: Connect FPR vacuum hose to manifold where the old reg connected to?
Few questions
1: Where can i mount the FPR on a bugeye STI, i have a bracket with 2 holes in it which came with it but cant find anywhere?
2: How much fuel should i expect to leak from the car with the old FPR disconnected, it wont keep on *****ing out will it until i fit the new FPR connections?
3: Where should i route the goodriche hoses, obviously i should keep away from turbo?
4: Can i just use jubilee clips on the goodriche hoses to tighten on adaptor and fuel return?

fuel wont keep flowing but chances are there will still be a bit of pressure so when you pull the hose it will flow a bit ... best best is to pull the plug in the passenger foot well like you said then try and run the car
this way the pump won't add any more fuel to the lines and the car will run out of petrol
to be honest it won't be a huge amount of fuel you could just pull the pipe and quickly put in to a container ... couple of cup fulls max
