I have all Auto Meter, they have saved my motor twice now.
A/F, oil temp, oil pressure, water temp.
An EGT re-acts fairly slow. So if you want it for tunning, you are better off getting an A/F gauge.

I have Omori gauges in my car.

www.omorimeter.com
I got my EGT gauge from Omori Meter.com and they were cheaper than the Australian importer!

I have pics of the gauges on that page.

A/F guages are worthless. Its you really feel the need to measure your a/f based on a narrow band o2 sensor, just wire a volt meter dirrectly to it and skip the fancy, yet useless, light show. The range of most guages just its enough to be worth while.
just remember jon, anything like oil/fuel pressure is going to have to be electric or mouted outside the car.

i agree that the a/f gauge are almost worthless, plus i donot think that they put an o2 sensor in until the gsl-se.
greg, i was planning on all electric guages.
