Default FMU wasnt directly connected to FPR!

Mine is connected to a vacuum line off the intake manifold, and I believe its not raising my fuel pressure enough.

Nope. Any boost source will do.

check all your vacuum fittings for cracks at the end of the line that boost might escape from. also make sure your fpr is connected directly to the intake mani, and not t'eed off.

yea my fpr vacuum line was t'eed off to my bov and boost gauge and my fmu was t'eed off to the vacuum line on top of the manifold. So I tee'd my fmu vac line to the fpr line and then the fpr line directly to the manifold. I then tee'd the vac line on top of my manifold to my bov and boost gauge. That should have fixed it right? My car has been running lean all this time and I'm not sure if I have fixed the problem. My egt temperature are a bit lower, but my spark plugs still kinda look white. But the good part is that, the very bottom of the electrode near the thread turned black! Does that mean I'm finally running rich? When I let off the gas I dont see black smoke so I'm still not totally positive if im rich yet.
