I’ve ordered a fast 92 intake and fore innovations fuel rail but I’m curious as to which way I should run this thing.
I’ve got a 98 with a return line, so my thought was to run an aftermarket FPR but it seems weird to me to run that post rails as it seems backwards.
why does it matter psi after the rail? What should return line pressure be?
Any advice on routing and rail fittings design?
AFAIK, the only pressure that does matter is BEFORE and AT the injectors. Pressure and volume afterwards, on the return line, would probably vary depending on how far you press the accelerator 🤔.

I'm not disagreeing with you, but it seems that is not the norm. It seems that the regulator is on the return side. I also think the OEM regulator built into the rail is on the return side too.

if you put the fpr at the end of whichever rail is the end of fuel flow then the pressure drop across the injectors will be equal... technically that's the best way to do it but I think you would be fine putting it wherever you want... I wanted mine hidden out of sight, I have it under the brake booster before my rails and I haven't had any issue whatsoever

The regulator has to be at the return end! If you regulate in, you have no control over the volume, or pressure, and you may restrict the volume of fuel needed. Think of a garden hose. The nozzle (in this case, the water pressure regulator!) will control how much water pressure is in the hose. In essence, the regulator is a controlled fuel leakdown. If you had 4, 1/8" holes in the hose, and the water wasn't coming out far enough, or there wasn't enough water, you close up the nozzle a bit, restricting how much water can escape. The less water out the nozzle, the more water pressure, and volume, you will have to supply those 4, 1/8" holes. Hope this makes sense
