Yeah, SS hose would have been bling bling - the hose I used was Earl's super stock, it was about $90 for 18 feet or so...expensive stuff! Their SS was far more than that! The super stock hose is rated to 250 PSI, so its pretty rugged stuff. I'll keep an eye on it....
That sucks about the clamps - Sure hope I don't have any problems.....

Yeah, the money for the SS is expensive. I payed $150 in SS braided hose to do my return lines, and oil lines. I don't think you'd have a problem whether it be SS or not.
The best bet for the clamps to be safe, would just be to pull the unit out again and and tug really hard on both ends of the line. If it doesn't come loose, it'll be fine, because that would be more pressure that that line will see. IT would be a pain in the ass, but better safe then sorry. Plus, you know your way in the tank now, it shouldn't take you long at all.
Nice job, you wouldnt happen to have any pictures on how you eliminated the oem fuel pressure regualtor would ya? looking at the pictures i guess i dont see it. I see the hose with the plug in it, is that the way its done ? And what all did you need to do on the fuel rail for this to work?

See this post for info about the fuel rail. The OEM regulator was just taken off of the pump cage assembly and discarded. The brass plug and 3/8" hose were than connected to the side which used to run to the regulator.....Sorry, I don't have any more photos, what you see is what you get.....
wow that is really impressive isolator it would be really cool if you had moore pics of the proces where all the parts are located like a good DIY man you could charge pople for that aorund your neighbourghood i'm sure planty would pay to get something done like that by someone who did it before!!! i know i would!!
Yeah, I have to update this a bit - I have a fuel leak, and thanks to an idea from Boosted2k2 I think I know how to fix it. I just received the parts yesterday, but I am out of town on work right now so it won't happen any time soon.....
Awesome! Great Job Bro! noobie question! did you gain HP/Torque? about how much? Thanks!
