Default best way to hook up a fuel pressure guage

ok ive been thinking about it for a while, and i can't really think of really safe way to do this. not that any way is "safe" but i would like a relativly safe one. i heard about cutting the hard line towards the back of the engine bay, but i was thinking i could t off of the soft black fuel line closer to the fuel rail. that way it will be easier to work with and i think that i could seal a softer line than a hard one. i was thinking of a brass t with burrs that go into the fuel line. i just cant think of a safe and secure way of clamping it down so that i dont have to be worried about it opening up and gas going everywhere any ideas???

do you need to see it from inside the car? tap the end of the fuel rail. (i don't think your car has the valve on the end like the 03's do) you shouldn't need the other end since you have no return line with megasquirt.

i do have the valve, but ive heard bad things about that, and also wouldnt that have a lower pressure since it is after the injectors?
