Default What Fuel pressure gauge to buy ?

Anyone have a recommendation as to what is a good , better or best quality fuel pressure gauge 1-1/2" diam 1-100 PSI ? Marshall , Winters , Fuel Lab , Aeromotive , Magna Fuel , Holley , Summit , Autometer , FAST....... the list goes on etc.

Looking to mount one in the engine compartment and would like to see what brands you guys have used with good luck and ones that have failed.

I’m running an aeromotive reg with a radium gauge. Been good the past two years it’s been installed.

I've used ones from Marshall. Have a turbo smart one now because it was inexpensive. I use these for an initial coarse FPR adjustment. Then I remove it from the engine bay after fuel psi is set. They are pretty much useless hanging out in the engine bay long term.

If you have a standalone running a fuel pressure sensor into the ECU is the only correct answer.
