boost referenced system idea

Im trying to build a boost referenced system, I was wondering if I eliminate the fuel t by the back tires and keep the main fuel line connected up to the rail, then take the return line off the fuel t and run it up to my rail and put a regulator in wil I be all set?

Sounds good. That will work fine. Or you could just use the EVAP line as a return and vent the EVAP line to atmosphere by the tank.

Just keep in mind that if you don't delete the regulator in the tank you can not set fuel pressure under the regulator psi.Your plan is what alot of people run already so it works.

Thats exactly what I did. Here is a pic that shows the T blocked off and new return line run to the front. I also removed the stock regulator in the tank. I didn't get a aftermarket regulator. I'm just using the stock 97-98 vette rails that have the regulator in the rail and from what we have seen it is acting as a referenced regulator when in boost. Saw almost 70psi of fuel pressure at 10psi boost.
