Question about switching from one gauge to another

I have 60 mm boost gauge and water temperature gauge made by Greddy. I now no longer want 60mm gauges and am looking into getting the Defi 52mm ones. Is there anyway I can have the Greddy gauges' wirings fit the Defi? The boost gauge isn't the problem...but i was wondering if there is anyway to get around re installing a Defi water temperature sensor...anyway I can make it work with the greddy one already installed? Splice the Defi wires into the Greddy one perhaps?

you could only do that if the sensors were identical -- they would have to send the exact voltage over the temp range. I doubt that is the case.

I belive changing the sensor is the easiest/only solution.

EXACT SAME SENSOR. I used to have Greddy gauges. I bought Defi's. I first tried the oil temp sensor from the greddy and put it into the defi. I got the same reading on the Defi as I got from the Greddy....but to be safe, I put the Defi sensor into the defi gauge...with the EXACT SAME RESULTS. In fact, it's the connector....

So after my "experiment" I left all the Greddy sensors in(Water temp, oil temp, oil pressure, EGT) in and ran the sensors to the Defi link control box....
