Default I think that I hooked up my FMU backwards.

boost goes to the nipple on top; the feed goes into the side, and the fitting on the bottom in the middle goes to my fuel rail-right?

Here's the symptoms: When my ---- fully spools, my engine stalls-like when you have a bad fuel filter; however, when I put check valves on the hose that runs from the top of the throttle body to that can thing, I runs fine, but my boost gauge then only shows vacuum. Maybe it's not the FMU being hooked up wrong,but it's pouring rain and I don't want to be on the side of the road.
Thanks

i think you should hook up the FMU after the fuel rail and the stock FPR, here's a diagram:



HTH.

ok, I take the line that comes from the fpr, put it into the side of the FMU; the fittnig at the bottom of the FMU then goes to where the FPR was going. Kind of like a missing link betwwen the FPR and where ever the line was heading.
