What happens if i leave the FPR's left unplugged??

Well im not talking about the one by the secondary fuel rail. but the two nipples that faces the LIM. I was told that i need to connect this two nipples and T it. But i did not do this and my car would not start. Could it be because i left it unplugged??
Im currently doing the non seq. mod and ripping out the rasts nest. thats why im asking.. any advice would help.

the ones located on the bell housings on the passenger side? if thats what you are refering to then those are the Oil metering pump injectors. These can be unplugged and the car will run but it is not got for it.
But yes those need to be plugged into a place where they will get manifold reference.

It sounds like you are talking abou the vacuum nipples on the oil injectors. You "T" them with the vacuum cylinder in the sequential setup, but I don't know if it's different for the non-seq setup. The vacuum cylinder is below the WG and PC solenoids.

That's because the oil injectors are T'ed by the metal pipes, so it's pretty hard to tell that they are connected.

Check out the blue hoses in the colored vacuum hose diagram.
