Default typhoon intake fuel regulator needed?

i have a 1999 camaro with a returnless fuel system sooooo i installed a typhoon intake rails and all but some one told me that i had to have a fuel pressure regulator up top but i dont have a return line to the tank. then some told me that they are regulated at the tank but i installed a walboro 255 pump. questions are do i need the regulator? did i disable the pressure regulator? need to know so i can finish the sts kit. thanks

You don't need anything. There's a Y block before the fuel filter. One side goes to the motor, and one side goes back to the tank. The line back to the tank runs into the regulator, which bleeds off excess pressure in the system by dumping fuel back in the tank.

Our cars have a "pseudo" return system. Now, if the fuel pressure adjusts by boost, I can't help you, that would be a job for the FI guys, as I don't know the specifics on the system.
