Most all the temp gauges are going to be electrical, as far as the boost goes, the mechanical is going to be harder to put in because you have to run a vacuum line from the gauge to the engine bay. All up to what you want I guess. One thing i've wondered about is, if you have an FCD and use a elec boost gauge, will it go over 8.6 psi?

Your FCD is not hooked up to your aftermarket boost gauge...

If the electrical gauge takes it's boost reading from the ECU then having an FCD might screw stuff up. If it takes it's reading from the boost sensor line before the FCD the gauge should be accurate.

Ok, so do aftermarket gauges come with instructions or am I just supposed to know how to hook them up? Also, with an EGT gauge, where do I put the sensor and how do I get to it actually? Thanks alot.
