Apexi Boost And Fuel Pressure Guages

[jonzie26]

I have just purchased these gauges and i am looking to install them into my car one afternoon after work. firstly with the boost guage do i hook it up into the pipe line that the red arrow is pointing to. and secondly with the fuel pressure guage can anyone tell me where i mount the sensor in regards with the fuel lines.

Its not "really" best practice to have anything else "T'd" into the boost feed for your FPR (where red arrow is pointing) but everyone else seems to.

Your going to need a fitting that will take the screw in fuel pressure sender, with barbs on each end. It'll need to be placed between f.pump and FPR.

If that gauge is mechanical, well then, you'll have to run fuel pressure into your cabin... :S

Both of the guages are electronic.

FPR? you need a fitting from pirtek or similar, barbs with the right size for fuel line on either side, and the thread for you sender. cut the inlet fuel hose (the one from between the fuel filter and the fuel rail and put it in there (dont forget good hose clamps)

I went to pirtek today and picked up all the fittings/clamps that i need to install my sensor for the fuel pressure. Now can some one point out which line i connect to. can you please refer to the photo i have attached and tell me which line. Thank you in advance.

looks like #2. just follow the line back towards the rear of the engine bay until you find the fuel filter. thats the line you want

agreed

you're better off teeing into the factory boost gauge line.

it's this one:
