^ Yes it will be fine. However, why not just use the FPR hose?

I wouldn't tee into the fpr hose. More chance of it blowing a hose off. If it does, your fuel pressure will drop to base pressure under boost. I'd tee into the other short hose that's near the fpr hose in your picture. It's near your dipstick in the pic.

On a side note, I would zip tie the fpr hose to the fpr. There isn't a barb on that fitting, or a hose clamp to keep it on. Just an extra bit of insurance.

Fuel pressure regulator is usually a good place to tap for the MAP sensor (boost gauge). If the line pops for any reason you have no fuel pressure increase under boost but you also will not see any boost reading on the Zeitronix gauge. It gives you a check for one of the most important little hoses is there.

NEVER tap your FPR line. There are many other sources...its just not smart. you want a direct source to your FPR
