Just curious, what's the benefit of putting a fuel pressure gauge where you can't see it while driving? I guess it's a benefit at idle with the hood popped, but most of the time the issue is when you go wot and high rpm that pressure drops.

That way you can take the signal wire as well and log the data if you have data aquisition software like Hptuners. That's my goal because I can then monitor if my fueling issues are related to tune or fuel pressure.

Everything you need is in that kit. It contains the sending unit that plugs into the end of our rails, the wiring, and the gauge to go inside the car. Click on the install instructions and you can see what's needed to be done to run it.
