Default fuel/turbo guages

I'm sure this is a repeat but where is everyone hooking fuel presure and turbo boost guages at, what guages r the most reliable or user friendly not going overly priced.?

I think ISSpro is the best gauge on the market... but auto meter is good too. Best place to read fuel pressure is right off the vp44 inlet, with banjo bolt snubber if you have stock lines. For boost (if you have stock plenum) you have to remove it, drill and tap it for the boost line fitting.

Or for boost you can go the easier and cleaner route with a boost bolt that goes in on the intake manifold. Genos garage sold them last time I saw and they don't cost a whole lot. You can put a post in the vendors section ne probably get a good deal on some gauges and the boost bolt

I agree with Empty Wallet completely. ISSPRO is the way to go if you have the cash.
