I believe youll need one of these (talk to Erik @ Vulcan Performance to confirm):

push lock


Youll still need a needle valve:

Dorman fitting 3/8 Steel

Sorry no pic for that

Is there any other way I can hook up the guage?
The push lock doesnt seem bad though

In my honest opinion GS Gauges are Junk. There customer service is horible, gauges are cheap and not very accurate.

Yes, use the tapped Banjo Bolt that Luke sent you and install it on the outlet of the fuel filter. On an 01, it should look like this when you are done:

I agree completely. You get what you pay for. Accuracy is important and it doesnt come cheap. Isspro EV Series guages are very reasonable. A pyrometer is around $120, Boost $40, fuel pressure around $40 as well. It doenst get much cheaper than that. Mechanical guages are more durable and give you the most bang for your buck.

I can certainly help you with that but instead of hijacking someone elses thread - please make your own thread in the 12V Aftermarket forum and you will have your answer.
