Boost referenced pressure regulator install help

Newb here...Alright I have searched...and maybe I don't know what im doing but will this setup work?? The only way I can see things is to lay it out myself...and I don't use CAD I use paint...I'm not an engineer obviously.

Yes. Thats how most people set it up who don't have return style rails.

Thanks for the response. Any issues running the regulator before instead if after the rail? What's the drawback to this setup?

Id run the feed to the rails, then come off the rails to the FPR, then to the return. Don't think youll control your fuel as good the way you have it

That's how most people setup there system. However using the ls6 rail there is not where to pick up a return aside from the Schrader valve...Then you have to try and hide everything right in the front of the motor...I think this will be a cleaner install and I can't see where there would be that much of an advantage either before after the rail...maybe some but in that short of a distance I doubt the pressure drop will be that substantial. This is just a 5.3 looking for 520+

Stupid question, but if you do this then hptuners will let you turn this CEL off without it showing up on a OBD2 state inspection correct?

You mean like if they scan your car?? Set the evap to not reporting and the computer will no longer recognize the code. If you just turn the light out the obdII scan will still pull it...I'm in WV though so as long as it arrives and departs under its own power your good to go!
