Ok I ordered the Isolator for the fuel pressure gauge.....Is it hard to hook up. I am going to hook it up below the radio. Where would be the best place to route the hose and where would be the best place to mount the Isolator..

they make clusters to mount gauges under the radio. and our cars have a few removable rubber grommets you can run the line through.
i see you have done an auto to manual swap so you know the grommets im talking about. just make sure you put the line through the grommet o rjust take it out and put ALOT of electrical tape or duct tape around the line to keep it from rubbing through. its fuel deff dont want to chance that.

cool, the instructions says that the isolator must be level with the gauge to get an accurate readings. I know the grommets you are talking about but I am not sure if it is level with the gauge!!!

just make sure you get it on tight, I had one once on my svo and one day it ran like ass, and turns out the line ruptured and blew gas on my turbo for about 1-2 secs and you should have seen me run from that thing lol, I thought it was gonna burn to the ground...

Try this to prevent that...



For gasoline, use a smaller drill to drill the restrictor orfice. Number drills can be hard to find in sizes 72-76 (.025"-.020"), but that is what you would need.
