Fuel pressure isolator

I'm finally installing the gauge package in my Ex and I wonder where anyone has found to be the best place to mount the fuel pressure isolator. I was hunting around, and thought maybe one of you could help. Also, while I'm here, I have a quad pod, egt, boost, trans, and fuel, what has anyone found to be the most popular order of placement top to bottom? Thanks for any help. Dave.

Use a hose from the pressure test port on the filter base and mount it towards the drivers side with a bracket. I keep my EGT at eye level, the rest is preference.

i would tap the cap and use a 90 Deg fitting..im not sure if the test port is before the filters or not...so if you had a plugged filter condition it might not show there....Egt in plain sight. I would prob go in order with the most changing...being EGT,Boost,FP,Tranny.

I too am interested in this topic. I am going to install a 4 gauge pod in a customer's 06 in a week or two and he is wanting the fuel pressure monitored. I also plan to install a reg. return fuel system on his truck after this gauge install... On some of the regulators used, is there any fuel pressure port on them?

I know there are billet caps available that have a test post in the top of them, I can't remember where I saw them but they had caps for both the oil and fuel filters. If I can remember where I saw them I'll post the link.
