From the blurb with the Speedhut fuel pressure gauge:
"A high accuracy electronic (.5-4.5v) pressure transducer is included with
the gauge for highest accuracy."

I'm pretty sure all of speedhut's gauges come with senders, given that they
are custom made stepper-motor driven dealies, rather than the old-fashioned
90-degree deflection heated bimetal type like VDO et al make.

Given the degree of inaccuracy I've seen between even identical gauges on
the same sender, and identical senders on the same gauge, I wouldn't trust
'em for more than tracking relative temperature. Even an inaccurate gauge
should indicate "hotter" or "colder" once you get an idea of where it
normally sits.
