fuel pressure guage
i'm planing on going turbo and want to get a fuel pressure guage
does anyone have a fuel pressure gueage mounted inside, not like the B&M
do they exist and do i need to get one that has a higher range then 0-15psi if i'm planing to a use an aftermarket FPR (like a 10:1)

Re: fuel pressure guage (fuguman)
The stock fuel pressure is somewhere around 38 psi. With a 10:1 fmu and a decent amount of boost you're looking at pretty high fuel pressures.

Re: fuel pressure guage (Brian_92GSR)
if you want a gauge thats inside the car you need to get an electrical one instead of mechanical, many companies make these so it's your personal preferance, i'm using all autometer but a lot of people are against them. I've never had a problem with autometer. Accurate and easy to install...Good luck

I am using Autometer as well and have no issues so far. Full sweep electric gauge. Although I have't had it very long, it's consistent if not anything else.

HSK
Greddy
Defi
Apexi
Autometer
All of these companies make Fuel Pressure Guages.
All you need to do is mount a sensor to the fuel line which then sends an electrical signal to your guage which displays the pressure.

Re: fuel pressure guage (fuguman)
I also use the electrical Autometer Fuel gauge... It's pricey... but let's face it, you dont want a fuel line running into your cabin.
No probs so far... had it for 2.5 years now. Very accurate.
In the beginning when I ran an FMU it would hit 100psi... kinda nuts.. but now i dont use the FMU, and run stock Fuel Pressure.
