I was trying to avoid screwing with the jet pump, and too lazy to plumb a return system.
this way is better anyways, drilling the jet pump is effectively lowering the max output of your pump, so you avoid that nasty bit.

The regulator has a spring in it, so the quicker you bleed off the backpressure the more constant the fuel rail pressure.

Yes i ran into an issue with fuel pressure at the rails bleedin off quickly, but my pressure isnt high anymore...
