yeah 98. I've run my reg hooked up to vacuum and without no difference but I always run it hooked up on my corvette. I always kept mine on 14psi never turned it up. But ive run 22psi on my Fairmont with a stock truck fuel reg.

I never checked the difference on my corvette my fairmont i have and no diffrence plugged or not. I haven't had a issue in two years of running the car. Maybe I'm just lucky. But I've got two turbo cars and both use stock regs. There's many others on here that do the same. Good luck on your build you'll figure it out.

Then whats the problem? Run it on the return side like any other return system.

I believe these even bolt in place of the stocker, not sure they flow enough on the return side though.

Why not just grab a returnless OEM rail and setup it up like I did above with a known performance regulator?
