IMO those guages are not very critical the stock gauges are fairly accurate. I have tested and they are always on the money compaired to an aftermarket gauge. To answer your question im not shure. If I were you i would get a fuel pressure and tranny temp if its an auto also widebands are nice however these are more for modded cars not shure what set-up you have.

he is right!! why would you go out and buy gauges that you already have?? You have to take the whole intake manifold off to get to the oil pressure sending unit. IMO your wasting time, money for no reason.
