best fuel pressure gauge for the least $$

what are your thoughts on the most cost effective FP gauge for the 01'???? I'm really considering the Glacier kit for it in the next few months, but for the time being I'd really like to be able to monitor the FP?? what's the cheapest route to take that's still a good reliable setup???? I'll be running Banks boost/pyro, but the gauges matching are not a big deal to me anyway, I'll probably put it under the dash anyway, thanks alot, Dusty

I like the liquid-filled house brand cheapos from Jegs or Summit.

They are 1.5" diameter (fit in the tweeter hole) and have a standard 1/8" NPT port on the back.

Hey Dusty here is mine it is from Vulcan performance "test" guage "temporary installed" It comes with 6ft of hose which was plenty to go from the shrader on the inj pump and i just picked up a simple bezel guage pod from napa.

This is the photo at the inj pump

Of course I changed the end fittings so i had to take the core out but i dont see a prob with leaving the core in imho

If you get really carried away you can even make a mechanical liq filled gauge light up

Pretty hard to beat $9.95 - $12 for an AutoMeter Industrial or S-W from here

You might not find one that says fuel on it but any water, oil or air pressure gauge will work just fine.

Once again I just want to say you are the man Infidel! I went ahead and
ordered a 0-60 autometer so I can swap out my 0-15 autometer. Like $15 shipped

They might, here's their index http://www.surpluscenter.com/prodInd...07021118274311

You can probably get everything you need to hook it up at an autoparts store for a good price also.
