Default Adding a fuel pressure gauge

I'm thinking of adding a fuel pressure gauge to my 99 24v CTD. Anyone have any recommendations for a make or model. I saw a nice Westach kit on Geno's with the gauge, sending unit & fittings for $74.95. What would a normal pressure reading be and should I get the 16 or 30 lb gauge??

I went with an electronic Autometer gauge and I'm really happy with it. I think it goes to 30lbs, however I haven't seen more than 15lbs. No matter what gauge you go with, I can't reccomend that you have one enough. I think every Ram especially with the VP44 should have one installed.

Here is my setup on my 2nd Gen truck... I've used a 30 PSI DiPricol Gauge... I woul do a 30 PSI everytime... FASS and AirDog pumps tend to push around 20 PSI sometimes...
