Defi fuel pressure gauge installed! 100+psi @ WOT

Hi all:
I finally install this gauge...now I have four gauges. next gauge will be either oil temp or pressure, pretty soon my car will be like F-16 cokpit.
I picked this gauge because it's the only one in psi unit that I can find beside autometer. I paid 175 for it thru e-bay and waited a month for it to come... It has a plastic ring with an arrow on it so you can move it around and mark any reading you want (I found this not so useful though....)

pictures:




my thoughts:
the install was pretty easy....I tapped the sensor right after the aux fuel pump....I put the gauge in my center gauge pod and I think it is a bad idea....I should've put it near the boost gauge so I can look at both of them with one glance.
it is pretty accurate. my idle FP is 39psi and I took her to 6 psi of boost. the FP turned 70psi and I have a 8:1 disc. (6*8 + 39/2) @ WOT I have seen FP reach above 100psi. I didnt check how much boost I was running.....I only took a glance at he FP gauge.

confused: I took a look at the instruction again....turned out all the defi electronic gauges use the same power cable. Probably it is required for gauges that have memory feature....
