Wait so which one are you asking about, fpr or fuel pump? If its the fp than figure out if the oem connector actually plugs into it, most of them dont. Make sure you get a wiring kit with the pump

Make sure its the stock lph or you need a tune

the stock FPR is pretty good on our car and can handle a decent bit of power. Whats the reason for changing? I'm generally a "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" guy lol

Yes you can, as you said, make sure it has a high psi rating (turbo applications).
You'd need a Mitsubishi fuel regulator adapter:

Reason for changing is because my buddy told me I should since I upgraded fuel rail and injectors and fuel pump

What pump, rail and size of injectors did you upgrade to? Incidentally, are you still on the stock turbo? What brand FPR are you thinking of upgrading to? Any links?

In general a single, intank, 255lph fuel pump upgrade, running on pump gas won't require a FPR upgrade. The stock rail and regulator are adequate for 600+ WHP even on a double pump setup.

To answer your question, the stock regulator is more than up to the job. Probably, you need to upgrade some of your buddies though.

Fuel rail isnt required but since you've got it. No need to spend the $ on a FPR. SPARKY pretty much hit the nail on the head
