Heres what you need to do.

1 - Research FPRs
2 - Throw away or sell the aftermarket FPR you just purchased
3 - Continue driving a car that runs efficiently because you were smart enough to just leave the stock one in.
4 - profit!

lol, yah normlly i would have done what u said, the only problem, i dont have the stock fpr available to put back (my friend removed it before i bought the car), i been tryin to research it, but i dont really understand the results i get. so i mean if anyone can tell me what lines i need to move that would be great, also it would look cool.

Ah that sucks. You wont get any performance results with a stock motor and fuel pump. They're designed to give a higher flow rate, (which unless your running a walbro 225 and 450 dsm injectors your not going to need. you should just be able to mount it remotely about anywhere on a fuel line (prefferably where the stock one went) running to your fuel rail. I'm not sure if the 90's had a hard line that you would need to screw the regluator in line or if you could just tap in to it, i'll have to check.
