Post a link of what I need and where its to be found or point me in the right direction.

Thanks for the input fellows.

1/2" pickup and feed line, 150GPH pump and big filter, boost referenced regulator set to 14-15psi with a 1-1 ratio. You'll need a retainer on the front IP seal at 20 psi though so if you wish to not use the boost refernece yet you could have atleast 15psi at the inlet. The IP must come off for the retainer to be installed. Oh and the pump goes nearest the tank and the regulator between the filter and the IP. This should allow you to see your injectors full potential.

Are all VE's machined for the retainer? It's a snap-ring right?

I believe they are. Mine is on my IC'd truck and the others I've seen had a grove for a snap ring. I had a misc. box of snap rings and one of them fit so I was good to go.

So just put a snap-ring in and leave the stock seal alone?

I had to force mine in a little to clear the snap ring.
