sorry i don't have any pics right now this moment of how it is installed, but understand this: it's not hard at all to install.

jack up the car, and look under right by where the passenger tire would be. you should be able to see your fuel supply line. on the top of the supply line you will see your stock fuel pressure regulator. the stocker has a small rubber line that runs the fuel back into the gas tank. it's the line on the top in this picture.



what you need to do is remove the rubber line from the from the stock fuel pressure regulator and connect that end to the "out" port on the fmu. then connect another rubber line to the "in" port on the fmu and then run the other end to back to the stock fuel pressure regulator.

so basically you have the fmu installed in between the stock fpr and gas tank. next step is to figure out how the hell to mount that fucker to the underside of your car. and after that run a vacume line to fmu and connect it to only available port left on the fmu.

i believe that is the way that the star guys were told to install their fmu's as per the star kit instructions. i did it, and it works. i just don't like the placement of it. i hope this helps bro. i will try to get some pics of my install tonight if it ever stops raining

Exactly^^^^ I can take a pic of mine, but I won't have a dig camera until Monday.

Shit is all apart. Typical...

hey, i see the bracket in the picture. how/what did you use to mount yours. right now i'm using a well placed screw type hose clamp to hold mine in place. your method looks alot sturdier

like this right? also does it matter how you mount it. does it need to have the return pointing down or can it be facing any direction?
