So I'll be buying an AEM UEGO digital wideband controller/gauge as soon as I can get my debit card replaced, and I thought that if I'm going to be probing and diving under the dashboard, why not get some preliminary experience? The head unit and speakers were purloined from the car before I acquired her, and I thought that the Sunpro triple-gauge pack would nicely fill the hole until I actually want to restore the sound system. Plus, it give me something more accurate for water temp and charging sys voltage than the stock pieces (my stock voltmeter reads 13v when a DVOM shows 14.4).

I'm just a bit wary of paying $40 for a triple-gauge pack, I mean, how durable/accurate can they be for so cheap? Or Will I have to supply my own wiring/senders/ect? (I know I'll have to wire/plumb them in of course)

Just wondering if anyone has any experience on their products.

Crap.

Whatever you go with, make sure they are 2 or 3 wire senders... the only exception being the Voltometer/fuel gauge

I thought the sunpro gauges were all analog?

They are (I looked when returning a part to Advance), but I was a bit of an R-tard asking about them.

Though, how reliable are the mechanical sending links? It does seem kinda iffy to spend $40 on the gauge set, especially since a similar set from Autometer is only double.
Are Autometer gauges made domestically, or are they, like the Sunpro, made in China.

I have never had an issue with Autometer, not to say there isn't better gauges out there.
