Boost referenced FPR
Morning Gents, I'm going to be plumbing in a regulator today for my single turbo Ls1. My plan is to use my walbro 255 I have in the tank, -6 an lines, a 10 micron filter inline after the pump feeding the drivers side speed inc rails. Then out of the pass side rail to the reg. Out of the reg back to the tank. Can I install the guage off the rail (leave it where it is) or do I need it on the regulator. See the pic of my current set up and what I'm thinking about. Let me know if this will work please.

Apparently if using a manifold source for signal, you scale the tune for even flow across the vacuum range, because the FPR is reducing pressure under vacuum. So you set pressure with the engine off, and set flow evenly across the tune and let the FPR do the work. Or you could boost reference only, and leave the normal style settings for injector flow rate (which are vaccum to 0 psi only) and let the FPR do the work under boost only.

You're trying to maintain a static pressure delta across the injector at all times.
Although OEM dead end non referenced setup accounts for not doing this by adjusting fueling within the tune instead.

Alright, I’m calling you out. Please explain how a vacuum signal to a fuel regulator changes the fuel pressure output of an electric fuel pump (“by relieving the strain on the pump”) providing the voltage to the pump remains the same? Second part, please explain how a vacuum/boost referenced fuel regulator works.

Fuel pressure is a measure of restriction. If you allow vacuum to lower fuel pressure at the rail with a vacuum referenced FPR, then the lower pressure makes it easier on the pump. GM did this for years. The reverse is true under boost. This is done to maintain constant pressure at the injectors due to boost. GM did this for years. That's how I understand it...
