Default Cheap fuel pressure guage

Hello to all,

I just replaced my VP44 as well as injectors (40 HP) and added an Airdog 100. I am looking for a fuel pressure guage that will not break the bank, seeing as I just shelled out 2k for the above items.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Ask for price quote. Best way to go to get a reliable gauge

Thanks. I'd like an electric since I could run it right off the Airdog but will settle for a mechanical if they're reliable.

I might go with the warning light for the time being. I'm still recovering from the VP cost.

So you want a "CHEAP" guage to protect a 2k IP Dosn't make much sense to me

I'd love to get the three hole a-pillar guage set but right now I just need something to give me an indication of FP.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that I put in a new clutch and seals for the T-case too.

Yea definitely don't settle for a low quality one especially since you know how much a pump cost

For accurate readings you need to place the sender at the inlet of the VP. I suggest an Isspro fuel pressure gauge. They have many models to choose from. Like stated above post a thread in the Quote Section and see what our great vendors can do for you.
