installing fuel pressure gauge
 
I ordered a set of gauges including pryo, boost, and fuel pressure. The only one i am confused on is the fuel pressure. ive read on the internet about having to drill a hole and im not sure where to drill this whole if anyone has a picture it would be fantastic.

You will not have to drill a hole, but you may have to buy some more parts. There are two banjo fittings which are popular metering points, one is in the top of the fuel filter housing where the fuel line goes out to the injector pump and the other is on the injection pump itself, where that same line goes in. If your gauges are mechanical, they may have everything you need to tap in; but if they're electric, you will almost definitely need to buy a banjo bolt tapped for 1/8" NPT to screw the sensor into. Additionally, you will probably need a needle valve or a Tork Tek snubber to keep the mechanical lift pump from just sending your gauge into an epileptic seizure.

So i just need to replace a factory banjo bolt with the banjo bolt and snubbbler valve correct? (i have both the banjo and snubbler)

More or less. I have a needle valve on mine too, but plenty of people don't.

What kind of gauges did you go with? I need to grab a set when my tax return comes in.

I went with glowshift gauges. they have a neat little 3 in one deal that looks pretty good to me most people recoment saving my money and buying a better set such as autometer or isspro. but im a broke high school student who cant afford 200 dollars for a single gauge when i can get three for around 250. Ill tell you how they work im installing them today.

Awesome. That's the route I was going to take with some tax return money.

My Isspros didn't cost anywhere near $200 apiece.

oh im sorry i dint recall what brand it was but a 60 psi boost gauge was around 200 dollars and can someone please get a picture of where to hook up the snubbler valve im not having much luck and would rather be safe then sorry.
