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...
