Pressure gauge
Fitech should put a fuel pressure gauge in every box. Essential for tuning.
Agreed.
Since they didn't, I scooped up one of these:

They should but it would drive cost up. I think the cost is one of the biggest selling points of the FiTech
Poncho, you are right. This is why we are building this site. Give folks tips and tricks that Fitech won't. Help them be successful at first crank.
where is the best place to put the fitech fuel pressure gauge before the 30 micron filter or after
It must be past the filters. I drill and tap one of the plugs for the fuel rail. You can screw a gauge in directly or install a fitting and hose. Then mount gauge remotely. If you want a gauge on the inside, I would recommend an electric gauge.
Agreed 100% (1st post, long-time lurker). I would gladly have paid an extra $50 or even $100 to have easy visibility to information that is critical in the system running correctly.
I am having an ongoing lean-spike issue on tip-in. FiTech suspected I didn't have adequate fuel pressure, which looked generally ok from watching the mechanical gauge under the hood. I ended up having to wire in a transducer and display it on an Arduino so that I could confirm it's ok while driving.
I will try to create a new thread shortly instead of hijacking this one. Thanks
