Need some advice on gauges
So here are my plans... 2 Cravenspeed double-gauge 52mm pods holding boost, oil pressure, oil temp, and water temp. I'm looking for the most OEM looking gauges I can find - right now I'm considering the Autometer Ultralites. There are like 6 different variations of each 52mm Ultralite gauge that all look basically the same (http://www.autometer.com/). Any advice on choosing which one?
Also, I don't know what I don't know regarding installation. I will be having these installed at Helix, however, I want to purchase the right parts. I should be looking for electric full-sweep gauges, right? What else do I need to know to be an educated consumer?

Hi
I have the ultralites and the look great.
I made my own bracket to hold the gauges from aluminum flat plate
I used carbon fiber pods so they match my dash.
As for installation, you want to T off the oil pressure sending unit.
DO NOT let them drill a hole in the end of your oil filter cup.
Other than longer screws to mount the bracket to the back of the factory tach and the T fitting, the gauges should have about everything else you need.

If you want something that matches the silver face/red lettering of the tach, check out www.speedhut.com. Pricey, but you can make custom faces in lots of colors. They have 2 1/16 gauges (52mm) that should fit the Craven pod.
