Setting fuel pressure, using SLPs return kit
i'm posting here just to make sure i'm doing this right. I just finished putting in SLPs return fuel kit and set the pressure to 47 with my car at idle. when i accelerate, the pressure increases to 52, then when i let off the gas and coast, it drops to 41. do these numbers sound correct? i have a turbo setup, but don't have the wastegate rod connected to the downpipe to make boost, so i figure these numbers should remain close to stock without the car boosting at all. i want to make sure that's a healthy range for the fuel pressure.

what i'm wondering is, should my accelerating fuel pressure not exceed the factory setting of 47, or should my idle fuel pressure be 47? i want to know if it's bad that i reach 52+psi when i accelerate
that is all going to depend on the injector and their flow rate. if the injectors can handle that amount of pressure with out clipping then your fine. you just dont want to run a high duty cycle. 52 psi doesnt sound bad though at WOT
