Default 16v fuel pressure gauge?

Does anyone make a 16v fuel pressure gauge that threads on the left side of the motor, where you would normally check the pressure?

I know that 928motorsports sells one but it is for the 32v, what is the difference?

Thanks,
Oscar

Convert to AN Ditch the fuel dampner, install an adjustable fuel reg, replace the rubber hoses with SS braid. If hoses have not yet been replaced, then they are about to split.

What do you mean to get rid of the damper?, what does this do? Also, would need to buy one adj FPR? I ask this because the car has 2 on it now.

Thanks,

I have the 928 Motorsports unit on my 81, it does fit.

FYI - it's on the right side of the motor

Oscar, what model year do you have?

I ask because I have an adjustable FPR and have not installed it, partly because I wanted to fix other rough running issues first, but also because I don't know what to put in place of the second one. I have a diaphragm damper like 928 Specialists reccomends, but it doesn't have the same fittings as the one that I'm replacing (2 versus 3).

The 928rus gauge is for 32 valves, not 16 valves, since it states in the linked thread it's suitable for year 85 and up.

I thought it was only for the 32v cars but have since been told it fits some of the 16v cars as well - not CIS.
