    Mounted the Vortech 12:1 FMU today. I think I did it right. There aren't many detailed instructions of this install on the net. But from what I understand the out from the Fuel Pressure Regulator connects to the in of the FMU. The out from the FMU goes to the tank. Correct me if I'm wrong.

          I the garett turbo t3/4 .42in .48exh, intercooler, FMU, injectors and the 2G BOV all for under $300. Its the small stuff that kills you. The silicon couplers that connect the piping were almost $200. The braided lines for the oil and coolant where another $200.

          I am using the stock manifold, flipped over, cut off the collector and a t3 flange welded to it. Cheap setup. But considering the Proturbo mani is $650 its a good alternative. I have been keeping a look out for a log type manifold for the m10 just haven't run across one yet. They are rare.

          As far a #'s. If I get 160 at the crank I'll be happy but I have seen m10 get 180-190hp with the same setup.

          No rebuild. Motor has 150k miles on it. If it holds up great. If it grenades so be it. It will give me a reason to put a m30 turbo in there ;)
