Isolators - Summit, Jeg's, Autometer, expect $100+.

I prefer pure electric fuel pressure gauge.

I also prefer pure electric oil pressure gauge. Seen capillary tubes break and spray hot oil on ppl's legs before.

JD is so right. Electronic gauges all the way for that kind of stuff. Getting regular gauges with the isolator costs just as much electronic gauges.

part# ATM-3224 from Summit Racing
Gauge Tubing, Copper, 1/8 in. Diameter, 6 ft. Long, Kit
$8.95 and no more worrying about a nylon line rupturing when using mechanical guages.I prefer the cost of mechanical gauges.

Copper tubing bends pretty easy. Just don't overbend + crimp it.

Check it every couple of months, it if gets stressed/vibrated on, copper will work harden and crack. This is why it is illegal for use as brake lines.

Much more robust than the capillary tube those mech gauges usually come with, but if you end up in an accident, be prepared for the scalding hot oil to fly all over you. Put that ---- in the dash, so i's most likely going to get on your legs. Pillar pod mounting is just asking to lose an eye - that's right at SUV side impact height, y0.
