Fuel lines?

Well a few days ago I finally brought my car home. ITs been sitting in my friends garage since last year covered in a foot of dust. Today it showed its first signs of life, the dash lit up along with the headlights and all that. I just need to put a few small things back together.. fuel lines, some vacuum lines and as long as my parts to make my intake come in today I should hopefully be starting it up.

Anyways my question is about the fuel lines, I forgot to label which one was the feed and which one was the return? Please see pictures below, the one with the red cap or with out?

The one with the SS line on it did shoot some fuel out when I took off the cap but I think it may have only been from all the pressure in the tank, because it stopped when I popped the gas cap.




thanks in advance for the help

the line closest to the firewall is your feed to the fuel filter than from the fuel filter to the top line on the fuel rail, other lines are the return i believe should be the same even though yours is a turbo...

Turbo and N/A have the same setup. In terms of fuel lines, the only difference is the Turbo rail doesn't have the extra piece for the cold start injector.

What he said. The one with the red cap goes to the bottom of the fuel filter, then from there the top line to the fuel rail. I just replaced that very line a couple of days ago.
