Default DIY Fuel pressure Regulator?

Anyone know of a DIY for a fuel pressure regulator? I searched around and didn't find anything. It looks simple enough to do but just wondering. Also where does the fuel pressure gauge go? And on the 034 motorsports AFPR how do you adjust it? It looks like you do it from the top but I am not sure. Thanks!

Yeah I figured you would need to do that but I guess the main question I have is where to put the gauge to get a correct reading and how to actually adjust the fuel pressure.

i have done it a few times. You might want to depressurize the system otherwise the reinstall is a bitch. So start the car and then pull the fuel pump fuse andlet it run out of gas. Then you just pull the clip, place a towel around the bottom to catchany fueland then pull it up and out. Then jsut reverse, push it in and then get the clip back in (easier said then done). You should install the gauge while you have low fuel pressure in the system. All you have to do for that is cut the fuel feed line before the fuel rail and then slide in the gauge and tighten down the clamps. Again a towel to catch any fuel
