Who has converted their fuel system to return themselves?
I am thinking this would probably be the best way to go for a custom turbo kit - so post here if you have done this conversion YOURSELF (ie a shop didn't do it for you). I am curious to know exactly what needs to be done for this to work. Specifically what happens to the stock fuel pump, where do you run the return line, how does it tap back into the gas tank, etc.....Oh yeah, correct me if I'm wrong but I also thought there was at least 1 fuel rail available for our cars too....

there is a fuel rail that i know of and thats AEM which hasnt been released. word was it was a non return rail, so it would still have to be modified. as far as the return system goes, i know of two people on here that have got it done, me and boosted, and we didnt do ours, so do u know of ne one else thats got it done.

^^^ What he said.
The stock fuel rail is cut at the opposite end of the feed line. A bung is welded onto the end that allows for a fuel line to be screwed on. The fuel line screws into a fuel pressure regulator (boost referenced: which means it has to read manifold pressure), and the return line gets screwed into the FPR, and the other end goes directly back to the fuel tank. That's all there is to the basic return fuel system. Gas mileage is still awesome
