FPG? Fuel pressure gauge? On the fuel bowl on top of them motor where the filter is housed, there should be "test ports" or plugs in the bowl, you can remove one of them and use that as your port. I think you need an 1/8" NPT fitting, then attach your sender to that.

If you want that much power and any reliability I would just pull the motor and put in a 5.9 cummins.

I am not trying to knock the 6.0, I do have a 05 6.0 so I am not just a Dodge guy putting down a Ford. I have seen enough people over the years stick a ton of money into a 6.0 that end up with a major engine failure

My truck has 53K and is starting to puke and all I have is a edge Juice

In the front of the fuel bowl next to the regulator there is a allen head plug. Remove plug and install sender in this hole.

What a ridiculous answer, though unfortunately you are partially true. Swapping in a cummins costs a small fortune as well. If this guy starts the project off correctly from the start, he should have no problem making the power he wants and holding it together.

You have an Edge, puking was inevitable.

While the cummins is a far more reliable engine, the 6.0 can be made to be reliable. 550hp is not unreachable by any means, they're just expensive to get to that point.

If I swapped anything in, it'd be a DT 360 anyways. The crank on the DT motor makes the cummins crank look like it belongs in a toyota.

SCT with Eric or Matt from gearheads tunes or you can even get a Edge with Custom tunes from PHP... With the CS or CTS you have the ability to monitor all other things that they are planing to release
