between filter and ip. This way you know your filter condition and you always know you're supplying fuel to the injector pump vs it having to draw a vacuum. I installed mine on the fuel schrader with a 1/16npt to 1/8npt reducing bushing. On the 7.3 head, you already have a fuel filter sensor you can tee off of. I'm running the 6.9 head to take advantage of better fuel filtration and a cheaper filter.

It does wonders with keeping egt's in check. I bought the universal kit and built my own tank to mount on the frame rail. I set the controller to start injection at 10psi and it maxes out at 18psi. i do this because the system is progressive, so it'll never go to 99% injection under the normal driving conditions my truck sees. I'm not intercooled, so the water **** works great. Doesn't use very much either, i just buy the cheap blue washer fluid with **** in it at wally world.
Some of these threads are so beaten to death it's not funny...the OP has a few posts and just a few days ago we did this whole thing with fuel pressure gauges...

Iam sorry I only have a few post but we all have to start somewhere! I can not get search to work from my phone. Thanks itsacrazyasian for the info
Never ever be sorry for a few posts...never, I only had a few posts when I joined too! As a matter of fact I had zero for a while as I lurked about reading and what not.
Not sure why search won't work on you phone, I was looking last night for O rings for return lines, and noticed on the very top right a small tiny magnifying glass ...that's the search not sure if you see it but I did for the first time using it and was awesome helped a whole lot.
Welcome to the board btw, I apologize if I sounded brash, it's a Al thing sometimes. It is hard to see that your posting from a phone so it's kinda easy to make a quick rbrash statement. Please forgive me.
Do not hesitate to ask?'s but please search too when you can
as sometimes these threads could be just a page or two back and fully covered. Then again if all your using is a phone, it may not work lolgood luck with your guage.
Al
