I have the same gauges. I am having problems with the fuel pressure sending unit. I now have installed three seperate sending units. The last one came from Cyberdyne direct. It is physically different than the previous ones I installed. I do not feel like I can trust these units yet with all the problems I have had with the fuel pressure unit. The last sending unit has only been installed for four days, and is still kind of working, the previous ones went bad after only one or two days. Some times the fuel pressure shows 56 psi and at other times 61 psi. Driving conditions very and it does not appear to make a difference.

Back when I had my built/turboed 240sx I ran Greddy Gauges. When the Autometer Cobalts first came out back to back testing with AEM proved that nearly 45% of the Autometer units were off. Esepcially the boost gauges, differences of nearly 3 psi in some instances. Since then I have NEVER nor will I ever use AutoMeter on my car. I also don't like the look. I use Megan Racing Gauges now. 40 bucks a pop and I think they look VERY close to what the stock Vette gauges are, which is the 2nd most important thing for me besides accuracy.
I dont' want to come on here and sound like an ***, but that's just been MY PERSONAL experience. I am very happy that 90% of you run AutoMeter and have no problems.

You have any data to back that up? My Autometer SportComp stuff has treated me well.

yes with swapping different series of guages between the cars and having 2 of the same gauges in the car at the same time, we found that the best ones were the liquid filled pro-comps big suprise there, and out of me and 4 friends that all have different brands of widebands the fjo is the far superior product, in terms of manufacture, design, software and flexability along with first class tech support

Which pod is the cleanest one to use for 2 gauges?
Where can you buy the FJO stuff? I went to there site and didn't see a place to order there stuff.
Does anyone have there digital fuel pressure gauge?
