Priming an IDEX

I'm trying to use PS with a Chinese low cost Mendel/IDEX. I'm trying to figure out how to tell it to prime the extruder BEFORE it starts the layer. So far all I've got will prime it after the Tool Change. Backwards.

Here's what I got:

G91 ;relative positioning

G1 E-1 F300 ;retract the filament a bit before lifting the nozzle, to release some of the pressure

G1 Z+0.5 E-5 X-20 Y-20 F9000 ;move Z up a bit and retract filament even more

G28 X ;move X to min endstops

G1 E+30 F300; prime nozzle

G90 ;absolute positioning

 

Some advice would be greatly appreciated!
