Default do i need fuel regulator with 320 bhp

hi guys,i have a 2004 sti uk and having a 320 bhp package fitted and the company says that i need a fuel regulator at a cost of 225 + fitting,my question is do i need it as my mate has a wr1 which has just been taken to 340 bhp without a regulator fitted by the same company.

a bit confused why i need one and he does`nt,is it because he has uprated fuel pump fitted as standard and do they use a different reg when fitted from factory with ppp.

thanks guys.

I don't see why you'd need a regulator, you would be better spending your cash on an uprated pump.

That said the standard pump on your car will cope as long as you don't start changing the injectors etc,

Not sure what sort of mods your having, but I would be surprised if you needed one fitted for 320bhp
