Default Building a Fuel Pressure Gauge Adapter

Hey Guys,

I decided I need a fuel pressure gauge to ensure that my FPR is working properly. My fuel pump seems to my paranoid self to be operating too loud and it has me concerned. Anyways, I searched, and it looks as though buying a mini pressure gauge from egauges ( http://www.egauges.com/vdo_mult.asp?...=Mini_Pressure) and making an adapter is the way to go. $20 gauge plus a few bucks for a spare fuel rail cap rather then the $60 for the lindsey piece. A few questions:

1. is the 60 PSI gauge the best one or should I go with the 100 PSI? I'm currently running the stock 2.5 bar FPR but I already have a 3.0 Bar one to use when I upgrade chips

2. Any tips or suggestions on how to do this?

Thanks!

One of these days I will fit one...probably the same day I install the adjFPR.
Here is the one I considered...

So should I get a 100 PSI gauge or the 60? Even at 3 bar, that is 43.5 PSI, so do I really need a gauge that goes higher then 60?

Thanks,

unless you plan to run more than 16.5 psi of boost and care to read the gauge.
