Default Pressure gauge.

Hey guys got my raptor pumped hooked up and going today. My question is where would I tie in my fuel pressure gauge with this set up?

I have mine hooked up at the bottom of the factory fuel bowl. I just used a tapped banjo bolt in the line that goes to the VP44

A tapped Banjo is a very common way to go. I have mine in the inlet to the VP44.

So a tapped bango bolt just has a threaded fitting on the head correct?

Make sure you have a needle valve (almost completely closed) or pressure snubber in there to dampen the pressure spikes from the Injector Pump.


You can also get a T fitting. www.vulcanperformance.com has all kinds of fittings for installing FP guages.




VP-44 install -
