I'm getting my single plane intake set up and was wondering where you guys put your regulator... I'm running an Aeromotive external (non rail mount). Pictures would be great if you have them. Thanks

Its called a blowoff valve or bypass valve. Same thing different terminology.

Its used in the instance that you are at WOT and you let off the pedal closing the butterflies. The boost has no where to go since the engine rpms are up, and the blower is spinning. It lets the pressure off so it doesnt load up in your compressoir and blow out bearing seals.
