I have this one inside the cab, they ship on 1 day. I got a hydraulic shop make a hose (6000psi) for Me to connect it between the IP and fuel filter.

Pressure is pressure. My fuel pressure gauge says "Water" on it.

Tapped banjo bolt, needle valve, and a gauge tubing kit. Probably less than $20 in parts.

Low power can be caused by a lot of things and most of them involve the fuel system.

If it's not leaving puddles under the crankcase vent your blow by is normal. They do that.

what he said...I have 700,000 + on my 90 and everybody that hears it start are amazed at how fast it starts .

Adjust the valves first. It's cheap and required.
I would adjust them to .008 intake and .016 exhaust.
