Default A little help in installing the SL55 pump/filter and especially the regulator

I guess the pump/filter change is straight forward except the stock filter has 2 nipples at each end and the replacement has one at each end. Other than that I should find replacing these two components simple enough? Where is the adjustable regulator mounted and where does the discharge from the bottom of the regulator go to? Anyone have pics of their install? I am hoping to have my stacked pulleys(178/70) and PSK with the wideband and regulator installed some day next week if I find a shop to use customer supplied parts. Any thing I should watch out for such as the crank pulley installation?
Pics or descriptions of the AEM regulator install would be appreciated or anyhting else that will help the guy doing the installation. Is the boost referrence port left open/ignored? that fitting on the bottom and where it sends the unused fuel after my setting is reached is something I am not familiar with, where does that section of hose go? Sorry got the questions but want this right the first time and installed asap. Thanks guys. Do I need more parts than Rob supplies?

This post did not help, but confuse me further: https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum...t-fitting.html

I installed the regulator on my car and there are photos on the gallery showing the connections.

Most people leave the port for the boost open to the atmosphere so the it regulates to the ambient barometric pressure.

The factory regulator bypassed the fuel internally and the aem regulator only passes the fuel up the setting pressure and then restricts further flow to maintain set pressure

I interconnected mine to allow the boost to raise the fuel pressure with the boost to keep the Fuel Air mixture consistant at higher boost levels. Thats another story and gallery full of photos. Rob actually had a product based on this to maintain fuel pressure, available thru NEEDSWINGS.

Enjoy, WDY

Woody the regulator has 2 inlet fittings and the bottom fitting is the return, return to where? I'll see what your gallery shows. Still a little confused reading the directions from AEM.

Tough to see what lines go into the AEM and where the return line on the bottom of the AEM returns to. can this be described verbally? The AEM has places for 4 fittings, one for the gauge, 2 inlet lines on the sides, are both used? and the bottom which the directions say is a return line, return to where? Still need help!

Thanks all. Rob forgot to send me the instructions which he did after I questioned him. Hopefully the pulleys, fuel system and wideband are all installed on this coming Tuesday. Looking for an 11.9-12.0:1 AFR. I am expecting right around 20PSI of boost, about 19* of timing at that boost level, sound right?
