Default Boost reference reg in way
Is it possible to rotate the neck in the water pump? My boost reference fuel pressure regulator hits the neck of the water pump.

Try a female 90* coupler off the rail and attach the regulator

I made a small bracket off my DS Valve cover then routed the outlet under the TB and into the rail on the PS. My rails are flipped.

Maybe change it so the sensor is facing forward, the front of the passenger rail, 90* into the same current port, and a 180* fitting out of the other port, down below, to driver side.
