For the interim yep. I got tired of making fuel lines. The Aeromotive instructions said it was ok but ideally the fpr needs to be after the rails. My fuel pressure holds just fine and increases with boost like it should.

I have all the fittings, hose and fuel rails ready togo i just need some time to install them.
Here are the rails

The problem with that is you will always be limited by the flow capacity of the regulator. How it is now, all the fuel has to pass through the reg, not just the extra unused fuel. At some point the regulator will be a restriction.

Yeah i will put it after the rails in a little bit. It is doing fine now, i even have the 2nd fuel pump unplugged now and the Pressure is holding just fine. I agree with you eventually it will become a restriction when i up the boost

Nice. That must be the same one I have then. Are you running the spring that came in the wastegate? According to JGS's website, they come with the lightest spring installed.

Thanks man.

I got the Snow Performance controller mounted and the new washer tank modded. I am planning on putting it on the passenger side next to the air cleaner. I mocked it up and it fits great.

Check Valves all installed. I installed on the the fresh air side of the PCV inlet because i did not want it sucking any oil/vapor from the motor when i really turn the turbo up. Not sure if pre-turbo will ever get much suction but i have seen a few guys colaspe air filters on turbo setups due to sucking in air. Anyways looks kinda cool plus i have like a billion AN fittings.

Please excuse the state of my wiring. It is on the list to clean up.

Btw the checks valves are sold by Boomba Racing
