OE 94 FPR - deleted PRC valve + BOOST - do I need a check valve?

Hey yall
Now that I have removed the PRC (pressure regulator control) valve, and am running significant boost, should I even be using the OE 94 FPR anymore? If I can still use it, do I need a check valve between the intake manifold and the regulator or is it okay for the OE regulator to see boost?
I was running boost with the PRC valve installed, and imagine the OE FPR was already seeing boost reference instead of vacuum reference. What would this do to my fuel pressure? I don't really know to well how the OE FPR works I guess..
Thanks

The PRC valve is just there to help prevent vapor lock. Many, many people run without it, and it is totally fine to let the NA manifold-referenced FPRs see boost. Any time other than a hot restart, the PRC valve is open, so your FPR was already seeing boost.
When you are in boost, the NA FPR raises the rail pressure at a 1:1 rate with MAP. This keeps differential pressure across the injector (and therefore flow per unit of pulse width) constant.
TLDR: don't install a check valve.
