160psi gauge will be good. you just need a tee connector (4mm), The other end on the gauge, autometer can advice you how you mate a 4mm hose to their gauge fitting.

You need to tell me what water injection you have so that I can answer your last question.

If you have a systerm that runs at 100psi, the guage will always show full pressure. If you have a clogged nozzle (1s) or a faulty water pressure regulator (2c or 2s), you will not be able to notice it on the gauge.
