quick fuel pressure gauge ?

hey, sorry if i sound like a dummy, but the brand of gauges im going with offers a 30 psi and also a 100 psi fuel pressure gauge, i like the look of a 3 gauge pod rather than 2 and being a 6 spd i obviously dont need tranny temp so i thought the fuel pressure would be useful, which one do i need?

there are 2 on the fuel filter housing
there are pics somewhere maybe someone will post them
i plan on using the pone that is under the filter housing drain valve
that test port is after the filter so u will see pressure drop when filter is ready for a change

yep here it is. this is looking at it from the back. you need to put the fuel pressure sensor in one of the ports named "Fuel Bowl Plugs" in the pic. the plug on the top left is before the fuel filter and the plug on the bottom right is after the fuel filter.

Guzzle has the adapters for this mod as well for the back of the fuel bowl.
