    leave the stock one on there its more than capable and holds pressure better than a failpassi can

    ok my next question is.

    Do i have to move the location of the vacum lines from the back of the plenum, seeing as it will be under positive pressure and not vacum when turbo'd?
    Do i leave the fuel pressure reg plumbing as it is?

    Thanks Delco.
    While you are there how much are you charging for a tune ?
