fuel pressure gauges

What is everybody using for fuel pressure gauges? Is Everyone using the accel unit? jegs sells one for the tpi and the lti. They look the same (minus the bracket) but the tpi is another 15 bucks more???? Figures.
Can you buy the hose/tube to the gauge on its own?
Thanks

Do you mean to test or a permanent install? I use the $12 Harbor Freight one for testing. Works great and comes with a lot of fittings for various cars.

Just so anybody wants to see the item...

There must be something like that around here to buy.
So there is a fitting that will work for the TPI fuel rail in this package correct?

Re: fuel pressure gauges

I bought this one at my local Murray's several years ago for about 35. It is going for 26 at amazon.
