Default What gauges are you running?
I have to buy a Trans Temp gauge but will eventually get two more gauges for my 3 gauge pod. I'm curious what gauges you are using and what brand/series. For example, if you're using Autometer... is it the phantom II series, Elite, Prestige, etc. What issues have you had... not working correctly, color doesn't work all the time, wish you went with the electronic sending unit, etc. Any advice or experience will be helpful.

Dual Aeroforce with a wideband. Would of had fuel pressure as well but the fitting didn't have an o-ring provision for my fuel rails so fuel sprayed everywhere.

Thank you Sir!
I'm leaning toward the ES Series also. Because it lights up in red.
Trans Temp and Water Temp. Maybe Oil Pressure.
Where does the Oil Pressure Sensor go?
Do you take out the stock sensor or what?

Not sure. If it's electric it should go in stock location, manual may be different.
I love the look of the es series because the red matches theme of my car,
I'm using the boost,wideband,fuel pressure,trans temp gauges.

PRosport evos light up red or blue (user selectable) and come with senders for $55-85. Much cheaper then aeromotive, digital, and super nice.
