2 piece intake injector change question.

It's been a very long time since I've done it. Do I need to remove the fuel pressure regulator to change the injectors on a 2 piece intake?

Thanks.

I've done it without removing it before. I've never done it without a lot of foul language either though. These days, I would probably just pull the top half of the two piece and have at it in an easy fashion.

the regulator shouldn't be an issue if stock
issue with the two piece is the minimal space to remove the fuel rail and injectors as the space from the front wall of the top half and the tops of the fuel injector bungs on the manifold is too short

there is a bit of a trick to this that can help

don't try to remove the rail and injectors , but instead remove the injector clips from the rail , then remove the rail from the back of the injectors .. then pop the injectors out

yes you might have to wiggle the injectors back into the manifold as they likely will pop out as you're working but with the tip of the injector still in the bungs on the manifold there's enough room to get the rail back and pulled away from the manifold

and remember the rail bolt right above the turbo will usually be a bee eye tea sea ach

I pulled the valve cover and that vacuum barb that is generally in the way.
