FPR too close to blow off?
Mistake to put the fuel regulator on the rail, and this close to the blow off valve?
Really tight for space to route these fuel lines. My only other alternative is to put the regulator on one of the panels next to the engine and run lines off the rails to it, and then another line from the regulator back to the fuel cell for the return. Lots of lines. Putting it on the rail uses less hose and keeps the fuel lines up high away from the headers.
Problem is the only fuel rail end where I could fit the regulator directly is right by that blow off valve. It won't fit on the passenger side as it hits the throttle motor.
Any suggestions on where from to hook the boost reference for the FPR?
Thanks,
Jeff

Air blowing off through the valve would directly hit the FPR. Even though it's running through the intercooler, it's still going to have plenty of heat in it. I was worried about heating up the FPR.

Not sure if it would heat up that much or not really. Maybe I should fab up a circular shroud to put on that side of the blow off valve just in case.
It's not really finished yet. I only have a few pics that I have accumulated during my build.
