The MegaSquirt Project has experienced explosive growth other the years, with hundreds of new MS installations occurring every week - a phenomenal success! MegaSquirt has been successfully used in all aspects of Internal Combustion engine applications including R&D, Industry, Race, and Research. The MS project has transformed itself from a simple R&D project into a full-featured mature engine control system. To reflect this the support structure has also changed to meet the needs of MegaSquirt Users.
Moving forward, the R&D forums for MegaSquirt project are in a read-only mode - no new forum posts are accepted.
However the forums will remain available for view, they still contain a wealth of information on how MegaSquirt works, how it is installed and used. Feel free to search the forums for information, facts, and overview.While the R&D forum traffic has slowed in recent years, this is not at all a reflection of Megasquirt users, which continue to grow year after year. What has changed is that the method of MegaSquirt support today has rapidly moved to Facebook, this is where the vast majority of interaction is happening now. For those not on Facebook the msextra forums is another place for product support. Finally, for product selection assistance, all of the MegaSquirt vendors are there to help you select a system, along with all of the required pieces to make it complete.

So picked up a cheapy adjustable fuel pressure regulator-
Question is - which port is the inlet and which is the outlet?! I mounted it so that the inlet was a side port, and the outlet the bottom port. However, on a quick test I could only get the pressure to drop down to 2bar by unscrewing the adjustment screw almost completely out.
It looks like the regulator's internal spring acts against the nipple that points up and to the right in your photo. The would make the nipple that points down and to the right the outlet. I think this is the way you have it.
That's what I've seen, although intuition was making me think fuel would push up from the bottom against the spring and bleed off - which is apparently incorrect!
Anyway, I ended up discovering that my fuel system is leak-free at least up to 75psi b

Another way of looking at it is that the pressure gauge will be on the high pressure inlet side of the valve and the other nipple will be the low pressure outlet. FYI - even the Bosch regulators adjust down to about 2 bar minimum. You may be able to replace the primary pressure spring with a lighter part since it appears to be screwed together.
