Take the vacuum line off and plug it.
That's it.

What???? No.

If we are talking about the Fuel Management Unit that comes with the kit then that is not correct.

The stock fuel regulator should be installed and hooked up like normal. It still functions normally. The FMU only functions when it sees boost and closes off the return line.


If you have some [other] type of regulator that you're using, please disregard.

I forgot about that.
It has been years since I have seen or used an FMU.
Your assessment would be correct and mine wrong.

anyone have a reasonable idea where I can get the front snout length adjusted to work with the similar Explorer front dress. I am installing this setup on my explorer not the mustang. I still need a snout bracket made and shorten the snout.
