There is nothing to it, relieve fuel pressure by opening gas cap then remove the top 17mm bolt on top of the fuel filter and remove it there should be 2 copper crush washers remove those as the gauge should have came with new ones put a washer on top of the banjo line and one on bottom and just tighten it up. The gauge should screw on top of the new bolt you used you can use some teflon tape if you want. Make sure to tighten everything down and tighten your gas cap.

Whoops, lol doubt anyone has ever done that. At least I wouldn't trust my fuel system with some home made parts.

haha i just thought cuz i heard some friends talking about it, and is there any questions as to whether the pressure gauge off an air compressor is any different from a fuel pressure, cuz i think they would be the same but any opinions?

if you were to use an aftermarket fuel rail with a stock fuel pressure regulator, would you gain any horsepower from that?
