I know that Maverick used like a T fitting to run his fuel gauge. Maybe shoot him a PM or something.

your best bet would be to call a mustang tuner shop like

Brenspeed

dynospeedracing

maybe even roush and saleen... these guys install them everyday, from what I was told they are hard to get wired right and you need to be experienced with them on these new cars because they are electric.

yes they are hard to to install if you dont no what you are doing...but you can do it if you have some car knowledge or work on them...

i have installed one on my friends new mustang....it took like a little over an hour...i took my time too....

it works great...let me know if you need help with it...

I bought new CMR fuel rails. They make a 180 degree adapter that runs out of the end of the fuel rails and works with the factory fuel line. I then swapped the fuel rails so I could put the Metco fuel pressure adapter between the fuel rail and the factory fuel pressure sender. Why? Because Whipple runs their air intake DIRECTLY over the factory fuel pressure sender and there is no room for the Metco. The Zipster sent you to the correct place--so long as you don't have a Whipple. I have read about people T-ing into them without probelm, but I simply will not do that.

Peace.

if you use this part.... http://www.lethalperformance.com/pag...acdf662942b0c8

this is i think the easiest way to do it but thats just me....

i used this on my friends car and when i put my nitrous system in....

but if you do it your self be sure to be careful not the rip the o-ring...truth me i did that and it was not good...when the fuel pump kicked in...and fuel was everywhere...lol yeah it sucked...

Use that metco adapter, it's a very nice piece, have it on my 07.

Install is a breeze. To make it nice and clean, pull the fuel pump fuse and start the car to run it dry. Then undo your two fuel connection bolts, insert the metco adapter, use the new longer bolts to mount and your done.

Altogether 15 minutes from beginning to end for the adapter install. It has seperate ports for an under hood guage (should come with the adapter) and an in car gauge.

A dab of vaseline on the o-ring assures it doesn't hitch when being installed causing possible tear.
