agreed, you're tackling a swap that has only been done a handful of times, and not documented often either. ------------------

Ha, I should have simply thought it through and it would have popped some flags. I just finished installing an aeromotive regulator. Your setup seems clutch, I just like the adjustabikity of mine especially when I go high boost. As of now, the only two things I'm waiting on are the axles (still) from the drive shaft shop and an ecu/relay mount bracket I designed and ordered off xometry. DSS said my axles should be shipped this week... so we'll see.

I would put a hose on the regulators reference port, and route it downstream of the air filter, that was nothing can clog the port. ------------------

I have no F@#$%ing clue from your photo where the regulator is mounted.

The clutch line at the transmission as well as an Isuzu shift cable are in the pick, so along the DS frame rail in front of the transmission.

I can see shift cables and such like, but was actually looking for confirmation and some thoughts about why he put it there and routed things that way... looks more complicated than it needs to be.

Because there's really no other place to put it. I have my inline fuel filter; the (fuel) line then runs behind my remote oil filter. After that, it's the AC lines. For such, it was the only place I could put it.

So cooling system is done, fuel pressure set. When you fire car up cold, it runs like a champ. As soon as it gets into closed loop, it runs like ass. Unresponsive, backfiring, etc. Need to run some diagnostics and figure out whats causing it to go ape **** .
