Recommendation
Note: Return-style systems maintain constant injector differential pressure under boost. Returnless systems lose flow capacity as boost increases, causing lean conditions.

Reference

Return System: Rail P = Base P + Boost (rising rate) Differential P = Base P (constant) Returnless: Rail P = Base P (fixed) Diff P = Base P - Boost (decreasing!) Flow Deficit = (1 - sqrt(Returnless_diffP / Base_P)) x 100
