Yes, I have the needle valve opened just enough to make the gage register pressure. I don't have any leaks, but today I'll go back and make sure I don't have any loose fittings that might be letting a little air in.

I just ran the braided line through a ring I mounted under the hood, and it sits just behind the hood under the windsheild wiper. just make sure to leave enough extra hose so it doesnt pull when you open the hood. I can see it while I drive and it doesn't interfear with anything.

Any chance you could post a picture? I'm having a hard time understanding how you did it.
