Re: fuel pressure gauge and a nitrous line??

Re: fuel pressure gauge and a nitrous line??

here's a picture of my setup..is this what your talking about?

I got the braided line coming from the fuel rail port to the fuel solenoid of the nitrous setup. I just added the gauge where you see it.

Re: fuel pressure gauge and a nitrous line??

yeah it was an adapter that I got from NX...I also used to have their fuel pressure gauge but it ended up breaking and wouldnt show the correct reading cause it jumped around to much....so I ended up getting a water filled gauge off ebay....that keeps the needle nice and still when the motor is running.
