    Anywhere down stream of the pump/filter will work.

    Couple of 3/8 hose barbs and a brass 3/8 T with a couple of clamps is all you need.

    I found this article http://www.genosgarage.com/GenosGara...ssureGauge.pdf

    Use a banjo bolt at the inlet to the Injector pump. Then you will know when your filter needs changed as well.

    fuel psi gauge

    As close to the injection pump as you can to get an accurate reading of what psi the VP is actually seeing. I also highly recommend running a needle valve to control water hammer. They are cheap, only about $6 at NAPA, work great, and give you the ability to shut fuel off to the gauge if need be.
    Are you running a mechanical or electrical gauge?

    Glowshift says to install the sensor,snubber valve, and new banjo bolt to the under side of the fuel filter canister (replacing the factory banjo bolt) i was thinking of replacing the banjo bolt on the injection pump itself instead. is this what you are suggesting?

    At the pump is where Edge and Quadzilla take the readings. Makes sense because it is at the point of delivery and after all the bends and turns and potential leaks. So I agree with Chris for once.
