Default K swap into EK fuel ?

I've noticed some of the swaps the fuel goes: filter--regulator--fuel rail
Other swaps the fuel goes: filter--fuel rail--fuel regulator
Why is this? Are both ways correct? Is one better than the other?

If you're gonna run NA then you can dead end the fuel into the rail, or go filter to regulator and then one line to rail and the pressure bleed off to the return.

If you're gonna boost the car I suggest you run the fuel from the filter through the rail to the regulator.

Either way, don't hook up vacuum.

Please excuse my ignorance on boost, brian, but why if boosting do you put the regulator after the rail?

You're more likely to run into issues of volume so making all the fuel run through the rail adds a safety margin.
