Fuel Pump question...

Ok This is just to give some backup to what i am saying to a buddy of mine.
He has a Turbo LS Vtec Integra. (yeah i know its a dsm site but hear me out)
He was talking to some douch bags on G2IC.com asking if his car would be ok with putting a 255lph fuel pump in without any fuel management (only temporary until he gets Hondata put on and tuned tomorrow). These guys were saying that he shouldnt because it will blow his motor because he doenst have fuel management. However he does have my dsm 450 injectors and a fuel regulator.
My stance on this is that being that he has a fuel regulator he should be fine being that the fuel regulator will regulate how much pressure is in that fuel rail for the injectors and the rest will be dumped back into the gas tank. To put it in simpler terms the Fuel Pump pretty much only makes it so that the injectors have enough fuel waiting for them when they open, and that no matter what, the injectors are only going to push in as much fuel as they can regardless of the fuel pump unless the fuel pump is too small or the fuel pressure is too low and starving the injectors. (i think i am saying this correct.)
Essentially they are telling my buddy that the fuel pump is going to flow more therefore more fuel is going to be dumped into the cylinders.
So can someone please shed some light on this. thanks
