I have a stock lift pump for now. Thats why I want a gauge. I will go with a fass or raptor 150 pump system in the future. Is the banjo bolt the same for the filter outlet as the vp44 inlet? So will I need a needle valve for a 0-30 psi electrical gauge. I just have a bad feelling on putting a mechanical gauge in the cab, but I know mechanical gauges are more accurate + reliable. thanks

Isspro also makes a 0-40, 0-60psi gauge which one should I go with since in the future I will put in a fass or raptor fuel system

I found a ISSPRO R7798 Pressure Gauge Snubber they say these dampen the pulses for the gauges. They are rated at 3000psi and have a 1/8NPT male inlet, 1/8NPT female outlet.

You wouldn't need anything over 30 psi, feed pressure is only around 15+/- psi even with a FASS. You would still need the needle valve.

I did not know that.

DiPricol guages never were very readily available.
