Fuel pressure and boost gauges for Radix application
I'm finallizing all my small parts for the Radix install. I plan to connect a fuel pressure gauge sending unit to the schreder valve port on the Radix fuel rail. Is that a good spot? If so, what is the size of the inside thread to adapt to? It looks to be 1/16" npt male. Correct? Also,which port do I connect the boost gauge to? There's two on the driver's side rear, one with a plug, and one with a cap. Are these the ones to see the correct boost numbers? Thanks

Thanks! During a search yesterday, I ran accross someone mentioning something about breaking off a plastic tab on the pass side, and plumbing from there. I'm going to run my boost gauge from a fitting on the Radix intake manifold with a -3 braided line to my gauge pod.

Do a search here on gauge install someone awhile back posted the earls fittings part numbers to connect the sending unit to the schreder valve port. The electric sending uint I installed is long and to fit it has to stand straight up from the rail. Looks like hell. Want to move it to the front of the rails at some point.
Luck!

I ordered all kinds of fittings, hose, and adapters from Summit, and Jeg's. My sending unit is rather large, too, I'm going to try to run a braided line off to the side to clean it up. I ordered fittings to tap into that spot on the manifold for the boost gauge, too. I notice in your sig you have the 05 e-fans. do you also have the larger radiator? I'm thinking of doing some sort of e-fan install in the future.
