What are you talking about not useful! It tells you if
you do/don't have enough fuel going through your
system! When on full throttle and high boost you may
loose pressure and if its alot of pressure you have to
get off the throttle so you don't blow your engine!
So I have no clue why you say "because it's really not
that useful"
My question was does anyone know of any gauges that
you can mount inside your car?
Thankz,
Jp

All of the big gauge manufacturers make a fuel pressure gauge for interior use. Stop looking at mechanical gauges and look at electrical ones.
I also question the usefulness of one. How many things can you look at when you are under full boost anyway? Unless I had a single turbo with an aftermarket regulator and fuel rail, I wouldn't worry about it. There are more important gauges that you actually need. Unless you want to end up with 5-6 gauges in your car.....

Well i do have that single turbo with an aftermarket
regulator and fuel rail, and i do have 5 gauges.
I agree you can't look at them all but you don't have
to look at them all at the same time. Some gauges
are good to look at to see how your idle is and to
see when you bring up the rpm your fuel psi and
boost and things that are at the appropriate (sp?)
levels.
The only fuel gauges i can find that can be installed
inside the car only go up to 15psi.

When you build the engine you monitor the fuel pressure while tuning. After that the pressure isn't going to change. If it does change, something just broke and having a gauge or not won't have prevented it.
If there is such little trust in the powertrain that you can't stomp the gas without watching gauges, then there are bigger issues.

Well, 5 seconds of looking at the rx7store.net turned up....
http://66.216.67.51/product.asp?3=527
http://66.216.67.51/product.asp?3=200
http://66.216.67.51/product.asp?3=715

http://66.216.67.51/product.asp?0=212&1=266&3=180
and then:
http://www.nordskogperformance.net/b2534.html
And then a search on the autometer page, turned up almost 10 fuel pressure gauges that read from 0-100 psi.
This literally took me 2 minutes to find and copy-and-paste this info.
