JB4 - Fuel rail connector recommended to be plugged in?

So when I did my JB4 install, I had a single connector left over unplugged.

Its the flexfuel connector. As many recommend, since I live in a country where flexfuel is not available, I left it unplugged.

Plus to top it off I couldn't figure out where it plugs in... Most of the DIY guides omit it.

I now know where it connects. Deep-ish under the foam padding, which most likely will need to be taken out to get to it.

So my question is:

Is this connector used AT ALL on Map1 / Map2 / Map5 / situations where flexfuel is not used?

Thanks!

PS : Lol, of course when I google it now... The install guide (PDF) comes up first result haha...

What gas are you using and what mods on the car? If just using pump gas its not really needed.

Reg pump gas, no E__ in our country.

I plugged it in today, just for the sake of it being plugged in.

No negatives to report.
