You need to pull it from a post blower location. Otherwise it will not boost reference.

That is only half correct... it needs to be AFTER the tb.. a fpr needs vacuum too, not just boost

I beleive you are wrong. It will see vacuum post blower when it's not in boost. If you just put it post tb it will not see any boost at any time.

Yup, post blower. Not just after tbody. Boost is only seen after blower and the regulator needs to see boost do it increases fuel pressure. Doing it after tbody but before blower rotors only sees vacuum and pressure won't increase.

On these PD blowers the boost source is typically the lower port on back of blower or sometimes a brass fitting on the blower plate.

If blower isn't making boost then it sees vacuum from that same port

Fuel pressure regulators need vacuum. A boost referenced one takes that a step further and needs boost

Correct. That's why it needs to be post blower. What are you trying to say here?
