For the gage, just get the right nipple to fit your standard FI fuel line. The nipple on the fuel rail accepts the same size of hose (~5/16") that is used throughout the car. Just press the hose onto the nipple. You can use a small hose clamp if you want, but I don't think I have ever bothered. If you use a segment of hose that reaches to the front seat, you can monitor the fuel pressure under load (e.g., while driving around the block, up hills, etc..). This is a useful test.

I bought a pressure gauge (0-60psi, +/- 3%/2%/3%) and gotta get the right hose and fittings for it so I can check fuel pressure. The Bentley wasn't clear on how to attach the fuel pressure tester.
