Mine is plumbed into the intake, next to the thermostat.
1/8 tube to the autometer gauge.
barely reads anything at idle. 10-15psi at speeds below 50 20-25 at 50-60mph. 25-35 at 60-80mph. I also have a low water pickup, which I think adds to the higher psi.
I plan to instal a relief valve pretty soon.

i just put a hardin marine stainless sea water pump on with a new autometer gauge off the 1/8" fitting on the pump. i have 0 idle and about 5 or 6 pounds at 3000 rpm. any guesses? thanks. it is pumping water at an idle coming out of the pipes. it seems to actually have a slight vacuum at the gauge line when it's idling
