the best way to install an FMU is:
1 - wrap tight in plastic bag
2 - open lid to your recycle bin
3 - Throw FMU in recycle bin
4 - close lid
5 - place recycle bin in street for city trash to get and take the dump.....

The lines go in between the return (small) stock fuel line. Install the lines in between the connection at the intake manifold. As for the vaccum source, you want the strongest one possible; I've tee'd it off at the intake vac tree. Don't get crzy with the boost, it'll be fine.
When installed correctly, and when the diaphram is in good condition, they work.

Or you could:
1 - Rent Dump Truck
2 - Throw FMU into back of empty dump truck
3 - Drive Dump Truck to the dumps
4 - Tilt Bed up while video taping and lower FMU out of the truck
5 - Call Jimmy to buy 42lb injectors so he can have an excuse to buy some 60's ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

Yellow94GT never touched anyone's sig or banned anyone, so I'm going to quit spreading that rumor. It's not like I have any proof anyways. All yellow94gt and other mods have done is volunteer their time to help other people buy/sell parts, learn how to make their cars go faster and meet fellow enthusiasts. I'm a hater, but it's hard to hate on these facts. I have saved hunrdeds, maybe thousands of dollars here buying and selling parts over the years alone, but I don't care, this website owes me damnit, and I'll piss on it as much as I want. Us haters gonna hate. Why contribute to something when you can take for free?
I act like I'm@Age15
I make friends on the internet that are@Age18

Yes, you read it right, 31 and just as childish as my fresh out of highschool internet friends@31
Oh yeah, this isn't my website, so no one has to ask for my permission to change my sig. Hell, not like I pay the CAFORDS bill, so why should they need my permission to put what they want on their site? We're all guests here. Maybe some of us should start acting like guests or leave?

The FMU is a bandaid for not having a tune. Here is a link to the Vortech instructions
http://www.vortechsuperchargers.com/pdf/manuals/4FA218im.pdf
The FMU is covered on page 3. Basically do what JohnB said. You will need a fuel line disconnect tool to get the fuel lines off. Run the vaccum off of the tree.

FMU's work like they are intended to work. They jack fuel pressure under boost. they need the correct size disc,plus you better have a fuel pump that flows well under high pressure (GSS340). Most pumps loose volume as pressure goes up.
