Alright, idk if this is going to help, but im going for it: raised the FP to 48 line off, and the car stop cutting out under throttle in park.  The IAC DID NOT remain between 10-30.  It actually hovered from 10 on down to 3, and sometimes would jump up to 10-13,but not for long.  During the time it was above the 10, the vacuum held steady at about 17-18. 
 
Off topic, is there a vacuum hose running all the way to the back of fuel pump(or tank in general)?  Might sound weird (which isn't that abnormal for me), but behind the whining noise that the fuel pump make, I heard the sound of a vacuum leak from the rear of the car.  I could be reaching, but whenever I hit the throttle, that vacuum leak sound went away and the fuel pump whined at a higher pitch.  I know I could be reaching, but I want to be sure I share everything.

Similar to other thread because the car cuts out. Since ive adjusted the FP, the car isnt drivable as it tends to want to die if i dont give it gas.

Also, my inexperience is about to show as I ask about checking the EGR and PCV. From the diagrams ive seen, the egr is the round thing on the driver side sitting between the injectors with the vacuum hose ran to it? I can take a pic of what i think is the Egr and u can confirm. Unsure about the PCV as well. Sorry.

To answer your question, yes, the car idles better and smoothly when fuel pressure is raised.

the rpms was bouncing between 650 and 875.  Im running a stock chip.  The dip switches on the translator is set just as you stated, on on on off. the car is also cutting out when i rev it up in park.  I was reading another thread on here of a guy having the same issue, so i was just peeking in that thread every now and then and did things you guys suggested, which is why i changed the fuel filter.  I wanted to avoid two of the same threads going on at once.

Lowered the FP, reset ECM. After car warms up, BLM is 150. 02 bounces between 105-110. Maf reads at 7.

Thanks!! I was expecting the worse for sure. Also note that the injectors are stock, so is the wiring to the fuel pump. Again, all things im addressing. The car runs better now, but i havent went full throttle due to the state of everything. And the car doesnt wanna pull any harder after about 5-6 lbs of boost anyway.

Will do. And, one thing i will share for sure, is that i KNOW i have exhaust leak somehwere. My intent was to take the car to a shop and get the leaks welded up. Also would like to note that my exhaust is knocking againt the frame of the vehicle. All these problems were to be tightened up this morning, but i tackled the fuel filter issue. I will keep you all posted. My next step, lower the FP to 43 line off. Thanks
