Well the diagram and me both are right.. if you would pay attention to what I posted. The TOP is what goes to vacuum and the bottom of course to fuel pressure regulator .

Hector, the diagram already stated in words that it goes to vaccum. Your remark was to what, confuse the end reader? :roll:

Just a bump... I just read in votech's site
http://www.vortechsuperchargers.com/product.php?p=31

that the FMU GOES to boost.. NOT VACCUM.. VAC is for n/a cars not turbo...


this correct?
