I've done quite a bit of research into this and my recommendation is to use
VDO gauges and senders, and the "vision" series gauges. However I am
re-evaluating installing mine and I may just NOT do it. I'm of the opinion
now that careful driving and good preventative maintenance will work just as
good (for me.)

Good luck to you.
