Default Ls1 rails returnless rails for turbo 5.3



Did a search and didn't find an answer. I've got stock returnless Vette rails and am doing a turbo 5.3. I already have the sd 60s for the ls1 intake. Do I just add an aftermarket fpr or would it be easier to get different rails?

Just add a regulator before the rails.

Do I not use the Vette filter/reg set up with this?

Can you give more details? If I use the vette filter/reg setup with these rails do I not need an aftermarket fpr or should I ditch the vette filter/reg and get a fpr that is boost referenced for my setup?

Would probably be best to get one that is boost referenced.

Ok so If I get an aftermarket fpr then I don't need the vette filter/reg to be clear?

Yes, If you buy one regulator, you don't need two.

Did some more searching and found that you previously had a returnless rail set up. Is it a limitation in a boosted setup? Sounds like it may be easier to ditch these and get a return rail setup?

I'm still running a returnless rail. No issues with fuel supply or runaway fuel pressure.

dod you place your fpr near the rails and how much boost do you run?

It's hard mounted to the rail with AN fittings. I didn't have fuel issues until 24 PSI but I wasn't even boost referencing the regulator at the time.
