Default AEM Fuel Pressure Regulator Quick Question

Just recieved the above and it looks like at the bottom it has another thread for a return fuel line?

Have read the instructions and it seems like i have been sent the universal type instead of one to fit directly to a B16 fuel rail.

Question is, can i get away with just installing and connecting the vaccum line up or is it just gonna **** fuel everywhere if i do?

If i do connect it up is it just a case of t-pieceing into the fuel line back to the fuel filter?

Any advice is welcome

Thanks

there are 3 ports. fuel in fuel out and vacuum.

you need to return to the tank. if you return it back to the feed, you will deadhead the pump, making all the fp it can.

the system works by regulating the fuel back to the tank. if it cant get there, it cant regulate it.

Just had another look and it seems like it has just a fuel out and vaccum on it so maybe the correct type for the b16? the threaded adjustment at the top doesn't look like a vaccum port so i assume the one on the side is and not a fuel in?
