Matt,

Was thinking of asking the same question myself. Have you managed to get a good price ? And who is supplying them ?

Cheers Phill C

A mate of mine did...
Basically you'll need to botch up a t-coupling with a fitting for the defi sender.

Any hydraulics sorta dealership should be able to sort you what U need IF you explain what it is for.

Phil,

Just thinking out loud but I got my last set of Defi's from Tuckshop.

Jezza, ta

I was wondering where the best place to fit it on an STi 7 was (it's a little cramped in there!) and if anyone else has already tried this on an STi.

I want to see what the FP is doing before I upgrade the pump and/or reg.....

Matt

Indeed which is why I want to do the gauge first - also so I can compare before and after FP....

deep, car was mapped with fuel pressure at 3.2bar idle and about 10days ago it started to record between 3.6 and 3.7 on start up and wld settle at 3.5-3.6 bar on idle and the same pressure at atmo.on lift off pressure wldnt drop as it should so no difference between idle and atmo..bob rawle told me that the standard reg is a bit weak and can be overpowered by the uprated pumps..all fixed now and car adjusted to run 3.2bar on idle and about 3.6 on atmo..if u dont have a fuel pressure gge u wldnt know u had a prob..apart from filling ur tank up more regular
