Car no longer stumbles when it goes from vacuum into boost but does go way lean as the boost pressure increases. Car is waiting to lean out and go BOOM.
Once the car idles, the fuel pressure registers 45psi. Don't know if it goes up or down when the car goes into boost. Revving the motor in the driveway doesn't put the car into boost. Any tips on motoring the pressure gauge in the engine bay while driving???

If that hose coming off was the reason for the issues, than putting back on alone wouldnt solve the problem. All that hose does is allow the module to siphon fuel from the drivers side. But the siphon needs return fuel pressure to work... so if starvation made it stop running, it would need fuel added to run again even after the hose was connected in order to build pressure and activate the siphon.
That said, if the car is running and making pressure now, its something else anyway. Its most likely a bad pressure regulator or an internal pressure leak in the fuel pump module (missing oring on regulator delete fitting, cracked housing, bad seal between pump output barb and filter housing inlet), or a bad fuel pump.
