I'm looking at my SFMU and there's no screw or anything in the boost port. Am I missing that screw that goes in there? And as for the bleed valve, how do you hook it up? I mean I can't even see how to put the bleed valve in the SFMU. Yes you have to take the plug out first, but how do you put the valve in there? If you guys have any pictures to help me out that be great too. Thanks for any comments.

Look into the actual boost port, there should be an allen screw in it, with a very tiny hole in the center of it. It should be there, if its not then you need to get one. There is a small spring and plastic white ball behind this screw too, so be sure you have those in there... The bleed port should be capped off with a screw(visable on the outside this time), and just take that screw out, and screw in the bleed valve. The threads on the bleed valve fit the SFMU bleed port. If you dont have a normal thread on the bleed valve, then i dont think you have the right bleed valve, or you have something already screwed onto the thread part of the bleed valve, that shouldnt be there.

Alright thanks. I took the bleed valve off of my craptech and put it on the SFMU. That will work, right? As for the boost screw, I talked to Vortech and they said to run the SFMU w/out any screw or anything in that port. What do you guys have to say about this?

If there is nothing in that boost port, then it will act as another "bleed" valve, where it lets more pressure out of the inner chamber of the SFMU. This will mean a lower fuel pressure under boost. If you cant find the screw, just plug that hole with a screw that fits. We dont use that port for anything anyway, as that screw that should be there, should be all the way in and tight.
The guys at Vortech are idiots. Way back when, I had a HELL of a time with a SFMU unit I had to have rebuilt..They were pricks, and customer service there sucks, not to mention they dont even know shit about what they sell.
