Default Whipple HO and electric fuel pressure gauge

Has anybody with a whipple installed an electric fuel pressure gauge? I'm thinking I'll have to usea fuel rail adapter, but I'm not sure it will fit under the intake tube that comes with the whipple. There's a guy on another forum who was able to mill down a metco adapter and make it fit (barely), but I was wondering if there is a better way. I'd prefer not to have to splice into a fuel line if possible, but I will if absolutely necessary. What do you suggest?

I think everyone cuts the crossover hose and puts a T fitting in there. It worked fine on my car and hammeron's is setup the same way. I just didn't like the look of it. I still have the T fitting I put together at napa. I had to buy a hydraulic T for $9 because they didn't have any standard brass T's with 1/8 inch npt ports.

contact Metco and tell them what you need. I believe they have a new shortened adapter for this situation. Metco part #MFF0004.

Thanks for that part number. I heard someone mention it on M0dularfords.com, but I couldn't find it online.

I don't know man, it still looks pretty tall to me. Has anyone on here used this in conjunction with the whipple with any success?

Based on the pic, do you think it will fit? Your setup looks awesome, but I'd still rather not cut the fuel line i I can avoid it.
