Is it ok to plumb from the ps pump to the steeroids then to the hydro boost then to the resivor. This would reduce the number of line I have to run and would make it all a lot cleaner looking. I have a remote resivor on the firewall and I don't want to go from the pump to the hydroboost back to the rack and then back to the resivoir and then back to the pump

The plumbing MUST run from the pump to the HB first, then from the HB port for power steering input/pressure line.....then the HB has a lower pressure return line near the master cyl....that is teed off with the power steering return line and into the reservoir....that's the way I did my return lines, anyway...works fine you could put in a cooler in that circuit but since I don't race, I never bothered....
how come it MUST be run that way?
I am not argueing with you but I like to know the resons for things
IF the rack is not moving i'ts not discharging much oil....so the brakes would not get much if any for assist....I think the steering requirement if run in parallel would lower the available pressure/volume to the brakes in case of emergency....the distribution problem is handled in the brake design....
it was either Jim Shea or Norval that explained that to me about a year ago when doing my HB conversion...I was thinking parallel install also....
actually, using the stock setup is super easy....I used a combo of stock hoses from both systems, and it's fine....didn't spend a dime on hose lines....
