The one I've installed was analog and worked the same as an oil pressure gauge....kinda. No need for an extra sensor, the gauge acted as one.



We spliced a T so that the nitrous was forced to go through the gauge and come back out the other side. It may seem like a restriction, but it's worked thus far. We chose to use a valved T so you get the exact pressure all the time.



You could in all likely hood use a regular T in the line between the bottle and silinoid, preferably towards the bottle

If you spliced in a "T" the Nitrous was not going "through" the gauge. A gauge does not have an input and an output. You can put in a "T" adapter anywhere in the line, and bring the 3rd outlet to the gauge. Or get a "T" with a 1/8 NPT threaded hole and spin the gauge right into the "T".
