    also by the way, that fuel pressure gauge your looking at is a vacuum pressure tester.

    Then I don't see how a fuel pressure gauge that goes to 10psi would help you since your car puts out 38psi stock :)

    if your looking for a fuel pressure gauge that goes in the engine bay, just pick up one that you screw into your schrader valve on your fuel rails. summit sells them, make sure you get a 0-100psi one though.

    I don't understand. Is there something wrong? If you have a stock fuel pressure regulator, you will have 38psi of fuel pressure. do you think your fuel pump is failing or? If it is or isn't and it's stock, i would recomend upgrading to a 255lph in tank before you go adding anything serious.

    also i've checked advance and autozone before too when my friend looked for one, they don't have the 0-100 gauges, and that was a month ago. you could try other places, not sure if you have a car care down that way, or a performance shop of any kind.

    ^^^^ thats why

    i think i have low fuel pressure causing my car to run like poop. if i need a new pump ill grab a 190 lph from lou at LMM.

    advance here carries the 0-100. i just got off the phone. closest good shop to me is LMM about 1.25 hours away.

    alright got ya. well make sure you get a 90* fitting that screws into your fuel rail so the gauge faces up so you can read it.

    I agree it's more than what he needs, but from personal experience, it's more cost effective to give yourself more room to grow, rather than buy a 190, only to find out that your going to have to change it again later down the road should he decide to add a blower, or a nice h/c/i setup. But I guess if you can get a smaller pump for next to nothing i might do it, if you like changing fuel pumps lol.
