Re: Vortech FMU Question

i think ive got it figured out guys.

i can blow through it untill i put some pressure on the piston (simulating boost press.).

so it is doing its job, which is to block off the fuel return line under boost. right?

Right. The FMU blocks return of fuel to boost fuel pressure. It does this when positive pressure is applied to the diaphragm orfice.
