Dash pods and gauges

[Mentosman42]

So I am looking to replace the ghetto dash pod in the URQ I made out of the right side of an ur-S4 cluster with something a little more aesthetically pleasing and maybe some nice AEM digital/analog gauges but I dont quite understand if most gauges/sensors work off of the same resistance tables or if I need to be figuring out the resistance ranges of the AAN oil temp/pressure sensors and finding a matching gauge.


Also if anyone knows of a dash pod that would look decent with the URQ/4000 dash(planning on mounting to the right of instrument cluster) I am all ears. Would love one of the factory/abt 3 gauge pods but they seem to be unobtanium.

Do you have ac? If not, a covered plate in the central vent can give it a nice look, abit of alcantara or suede helps too.

For sensors, don't think you want to cross vendors with gauges/sensors, you'd have to get the original values specifically for that gauge, etc and sometimes they like not releasing that info or it's not in their customer service script lol. Might as well just get thread adapters and put the right sensor in. Buying a sensor you wont use just to boil and find the values...

You can get programmable gauges like auber, that would simplify stuff imo.

Not sure if you have the old style dash or new, seen some abt replicas floating on ebay, not great quality though, missing a part on the top too which makes it look pretty um... If you swapped the center console to 85+ style you can fit in a cgt 87.5 oil temp sensor display. That's what i use for oil temp.

I was figuring that they were all different but I am hoping maybe someone has a BTDT and knows of gauges that work with stock senders. Realistically I have the old VDO oil temp gauge that was in the car that works with the stock sender but the oil pressure I think I am going to get a VDO pressure gauge from summit and see if it reads correctly, if not they are getting more money out of me for the sender haha.
