Lots and lots and lots of stuff to help. You can spend months here learning!

Fuel pump modifications:
http://vs57.y-block.info/indextech.htm

At the bottom of the fuel pump section is this:

Sourcing a boost referenced fuel pressure regulator is relatively easy, Paxton and other supercharger/turbocharger manufacturers have produced several variants over the years, and Mallory currently produces a $70 regulator (the 4309). Some of these regulators required plumbing fuel return lines to the tank (Mallory 4309 for example) others are simpler to install but should be checked for possible pump overheating problems when used in conjunction with electric pumps (less of a problem for a supplementary pumps as they only operate for short periods). A cheap regulator setup (without fuel return line) that can be used is a $20 Holley HLY-12-803 fixed fuel pressure regulator. This has to be modified though - the modification basically involves filing down the air bleed notch on the top surface (or filling it with epoxy resin - or welding it up) and then fitting a pipe to connect the booost to to the top surface. Greg 'TurboStude' has some photos and a description of the procedure on his TurboStude site (http://cancermn.net/TS/chapter_7.htm).
Great input, thank you. I will continue my research on the filter/regulator/pressure gauge.
