You realize the fuel pressure is constant and its not going to tell you a damn thing right?

understood. Going turbo, and then maybe converting to returnless (<- should be return system). i plan on putting in some more gauges also (boost, egt, wideband o2, better tach). mainly concerned about -06 AN size fitting correctly on the fuel lines.

The system is already returnless, so I take it you mean return.
-6 sounds huge for a sensor line. -4 sounds better to me.
You're connecting to rubber lines, there are no AN lines under the hood. So what you really need is a barb fitting and some clamps. With a 1/8NPT sensor fitting.

If you are going returnless then just wait until then.. it serves you no purpose to do it now when you won't be able to adjust it. This will cause you much headache if you screw up.

Yea, mean converting to return style.
The line I'm putting in would replace stock fuel feed line and connect to the metal hard line that runs along the frame of the car on one end and then connect to the stock fuel rail on the other side.
Guess I should probably get a short sample of both -6 and -4 ss hose and see which fits better.

Looking at all the work that's going to have to be done w/ the turbo, I probably will wait.
