The adjustment screw makes no difference when it is running, only when off but key in on position to power up the pump.

Any suggestions?

Summit Racing external pump (43 gph, 85 psi max)
Accufab adjustable regulator

No scantool yet, still recovering from the tranplant costs.
Suggstions;
Verify that the return line from the FPR to the tank is unrestricted.
Keep the boost low, and get a TT chip and a scantool.
