Low cost fuel return kit?
I read about an easy mod to eliminate the fuel rail dead-end by installing a bypass and regulated return. So I went to the ITP website and choked when I saw they wanted $570 for a few pre-bent fuel lines, fittings, and a pressure regulator. Highway robbery.
But I'm too lazy to build a kit myself (or maybe I'm not depending on the feedback here). I figure there has to be a kit out there for around $200. What are my options?

Here's another option (the one I'm currently running). It's a real regulated return (like the ~$600 ITP version with less "bling"):

They also have just the cross-over as well for about $80 less, but getting a RR for $200 is a steal, IMHO. Here's a link to that one:

I have used the push-loc fittings on 160psi air before, but the 65psi fuel kinda worrys me a little. Also is the hose diesel rated, I dont even know how to tell anyway, but im just a little concerned. Im sure it is all researched and all, but wow.
So all those kits are doing is connecting the drivers rear head port (little further back then the intake plenum) all the way to the front pass head port. Its basically doing the same thing as the HPX crossover line, only for fuel. (on the non return model)

I made my own, ...........uhhhh, in fact, I'm the one that came up with that idea and they, (with my blessing) copied it and marketed it.
The only difference is that I fed both heads from the rear so that any air bubbles would travel up the slightly inclined fuel rail to the front of the engine and out through the oriface to the fuel return line. It's been nearly five years now and it is still working flawlessly for me.
