Hooking up Vortech FMU and Regulator?

[jspec]

I bought this car with a vortech FMU and regulator you see in the pictures. I have read here and other places this thing is crap and to just go with the stock unit. So I guess my question is 2 fold. 1 should I just ditch what I have sell it on ebay. OR should i hook it up the way it was and just use it. I am not sure if the 2nd piece is a vortech unit or not. There is no marking on it and I don't see it on thier website. I also can't figure out where the hose off the gold regulator goes? I think to the other side of the stock vacuum switch? Please help if you can. Thanks!!

As far as I know, only non turbo's use the fmu's. If I were you I would sell them both and get yourself a decent apfr (Aeromotive is a common brand). What brand is the fpr you have now?

Just be rid of the FMU. All it does is restrict how much the stock (or aftermarket FPR) open's up. It is installed downstream ( after the FPR), and it cut's off how much the FPR open's as boost rises. Pretty much you can use it but you must use a FPR with it ( that's 2 component's to do the job), or you could just get an AFPR (that's only 1 component to do the same job). One side of the FPR is going to the FMU, one comes from the rail to the FPR, and the third one goes to the stock fuel pressure solenoid. In short your set-up is WAY too complicated...more simple is so much better.
