Again I am shrugging, but I am planning to scream and run.

Seriously though, when it gets back from the shop I'll follow it.

The thing on the left is a FMU, By the mounting bracket I see near the alternator, you musta had a supercharger on it at one time.

The other thing is a proportioning valve, you have rear disk?

With a zoom, I see two hoses going to underneath the engine and a vacuum line disappearing behind the intake. I'll prop it up and get a look under it. I've been scratching my brain trying to figure out what that thing does. I wonder if its why its running so bad. Hrmmm....

I also see you have 24lb injectors and what seems to be a stock MAF...not good either. I bet with a FMU, the wrong injectors and MAF combo it runs real bad.

Hallelujah, PRAISE JEBUS!! I love you man!!! I love you, now.....what the heck is an FMU?? Is was for the supercharger? Maybe The nos? Y

es all wheel discs, I dunno why the guy who modded it chose to go all wheel disc on four lugs, but he did. Finding the brake pads for the rear has been a pain in the tush.

The FMU (fuel management unit) will increase fuel pressure under boost. I believe without boost it isn't hurting you...but I am not sure. I think you can disconnect it and just run the manifold vacuum to the original FPR.

The rear disk 4 lug is probably off and svo mustang or a turbo coupe....you should be able to do a google on those and find some infor for brake parts.
