Fuel Pressure Gauge? What exactly Does installing a Fuel pressure Gauge entail? cost for a good gauge? I'd assume the default location is under the hood. Toying with the idea of doing one and an oil pressure gauge.
Guys with experience please chime in.

Well you really have two options.
Mechanical, or Electric.
Mechanical ones are very inexpensive (~ $20 [see Speed Inc.]), although their major drawback is that they are only to be mounted under the hood. This makes the gauge rather pointless, since you're likely getting the gauge to measure FP at WOT, not idle.
Electric gauges are significantly more expsensive (~ $200) and can be mounted in the interior.
With the mechanical, the gauge is installed on the fuel rail, and with the electic, the sender is installed on the rail.
