Alright, well I looked around and there are two types of gauges.
The ones that you run a line to and ones that wire to a sensor attached to the bottle.

Expensive though, $200.00+ just for the gauges

Re: Any of you guys running a pressure gauge?

hmm let me see if i can find a pic of my set up, i have an electric fuel pressure guage and a electric nitrous pressure gauge.
the fuel pressure guage is a Sport compact series and i hate it, its really hare to read at night because the light isnt that bright, thats why i went with the Cobalt series for the nitrous gauge, its bright as hell, but also i think it may be what your reffering to as a ricer guage. It will also show up really well to other cars on the street so if your going for a sleeper look you dont want that gauge, or the a-piller mount either

I have an AutoMeter Sport-Comp mechanical nitrous pressure gauge, and their electronic fuel pressure gauge mounted in the center AC vents. The nitrous gauge is connected to the main nitrous line at the solenoids, up near the driver's side headlight. A -3AN line runs back to the gauge, through the PCM grommet at the firewall.

I like the simple, white-on-black gauges that match the stock dash. You can decide if it looks "ricey"

Yah, by "ricey" I meant huge A pillar gauges that are extremely bright... I don't think I can avoid A pillar gauges altogether though, it's just too much work putting the gauges anywhere else. The electric guages seem a lot more expensive then the mechanical ones that you run a line to.. think I'll stick with mechanical. Although, I don't beleive I'm allowed to run nitrous through the cabin if I want to pass tech
Thanks for the pics though, that's exactly what I needed to look at to compare...
