Regulator will work but you must connect vacuum hose to boost!!! For stock turbo injectors you'll never get enough fuel if the fuel pressure doesn't increase with boost.

I suspect I still need to get a boost reference FPR. Stock is hooked to boost but it is the 94 regulator so it probably doesn't do anything when in boost?
If stock regulator is connected to boost then it's boost referenced. It is a 1:1 regulator and will increase fuel pressure 1 psi for each psi of boost.

What ratio of regulator should I be looking for.
1:1

Also is there a simple way to bypass the stock?
Yes. Sort of. Cut the rail end off the regulator and the female fitting end off a 91 TBI Sunbird body to engine flex hose. Weld the two parts together along with a tab to use with the factory retaining screw. I did something similar in my car so I could use the outlet of the 94 rail as the inlet in the turbo application.

can you dissect the stock regulator?
Yes. There are kits available for LT1 powered cars to convert them to adjustable regulator. These kits work on many other stock GM regulators. TPIS sells them as an adjustable regulator "hat." The kit will not alter the pressure ratio but will allow you to alter the base pressure. You could reduce base pressure (allows most flow back to tank) and keep regulator disconnected from manifold if you need to install an aftermarket regulator.

Do you have any pictures of your bird? and more info?
I only have a couple of pictures handy.

Old page from dialup days. Most of this is about the turbo swap into the 2.2 Cavvy but there's an old picture of the 'Bird engine compartment at the bottom. There are probably pictures and notes on Darkmuck's site (if you can find an old copy), j-body.org, and maybe a couple on v6z24.org. And there might even be some notes on gmecm or diy-efi.org from when I first started tuning it.
