the hook-up for a fuel pressure guage is on the fuel rail. you should see a small knurled cap, and when you undo it, you'll see what looks like a valve for inflating your tires. this is the shrader valve. you screw your guage on there. then, turn your key to the run (not start). go back, and check the guage. turn the key off, go back and check the guage. if its dropping, you've got a leaky injector.
and, as Graudefas mentioned - www.cruzinperformance.com - he does good, quick, inexpensive work - i think its $12 / injector - hard to beat.
