    Installing pressure gauge with AirDog

    I have the AirdogII 165 installed and just wondering how or where I stick the pressure sensor that came with my Edge? And what should I be pushing for PSI?

    It has the stock VP44 by the way.

    When all else fails, read the instructions.

    It's an airdog. Who knows. There should be a fitting which is on the VP44 with a pipe plug on it. Or it came with the Edge. Best place to put that is at the VP44.

    Installing pressure gauge with AirDog

    There is no factory fitting on the VP that has a place to read fuel pressure. If your lines still run fuel through the factory canister you can install the sensor in the canister if you unscrew the Schrader valve. If the lines go straight from the VP hopefully they included a tapped fitting, if not you can buy a pushlock splice fitting that has an 1/8" NPT port from Vulcan Performance

    Stock overflow valve opens at 14psi to recirculate fuel, which cools the VP, so I like to keep pressure above 14psi at all times. I try not to go any higher than 20psi. You should not be dropping more than a couple psi from idle to full throttle/load

    I know. I wrote that wrong. I meant to say it would have come with the Edge or the air Dog kits. Most likely the Edge pressure gauge attachment
