While trying to tighten the hose on the infamous FMU, I ended up squeezing my fuel line shut. Over the past couple of days, there has been no return, and I have been backing up gas in my lines. What kind of detrimental effects would this have? I popped my hood, and found that a little bit of gas around my exhaust manifold, and I have been getting major gas backfires coming out my rear end. Would this damage the turbo, or should it be okay? What should I look for?

i would be worried about a gas fire. once the gas caught fire, it wouldn't be long untill it destroyed something. I don'tknow about the other issues you mentioned

 

I believe it can damage the turbo if the backfire goes off in or right after the turbo....fix it quick dude!

 

Yeah, I fixed it a few mins ago. Got it hooked back up to the FMU. The DSM 450cc's/SMC is going in tomorrow; so I wont have to worry bout it anymore. I'm wondering, cuz I would think that the fuel might mess up the exhaust turbine but I'm guessing it didn't since I can still drive and boost.

Yeah the fuel itself won't hurt it, it's the backfiring that will so you should be good to go now.
