Begs the question - why?

Dunno really. Seemed like the right idea. No guage needed anywhere apart from initial set up? How about AFR or a boost guage?

Certainly either AFR or Boost guage will give more useful info whilst in use! A fuel pressure guage mounted after FPR can be useful initially but most will adjust so that floats don't leak without using a guage. Is this NA or Blown? If the latter, you will require a pump having potential for 120 - 125% minimum pressure to acommodate boost over base pressure don't forget!

Boosted yes. Correct fuel pump and regulator fitted. The Malpassi regulator has a boost reference port. Is it necessary for low boost applications?

Absolutely, as boost is applied to the float bowl and if fuel pressure doesn't track it, you'll run lean!

Makes perfect sense. Ta (y)
