Afpr vacuum location

So I placed the vacuum port on afpr facing passenger side then realized the stock location is facing more toward firewall. Think it matters? I would normally just adjust but those damn safety torx are fragile( and unavailable), so I would rather leave it in that position if the consensus is that it does not matter. Thoughts???

Re: Afpr vacuum location

If you can get a vacuum hose onto the FPR nipple, it just doesn't matter. A 90° rubber elbow on the end of a hose is not considered cheating.

Also, the next time you assemble one, consider applying anti-seize compound to the threads of the security Torx screws to allow a better chance of removal in the future.

Ok, I didn't think it matters, but wanted to get opinions considering it is related to fuel. Thanks
