I thought about that but I liked that it matched the cluster.
Idk I guess that is coming down to being my only option.

Just get some new Auto Meter gauges... replace the factory boost gauge with a mechanical one. Don't get a fuel pressure gauge. You don't need it. Not in the cabin, at least. If you want to get useful gauges, think Wideband, EGT, Oil Pressure. If something goes screwy with the fuel pressure... you'll see it in the wideband.

Here are mine. Auto Meter ES Series.





From top to bottom: Oil Pressure, EGT, Boost -30in/hg to 30psi

In front of the cluster is the wideband and Interceptor.

...and they can't. Contractual agreement between them and GM, iirc.

I bought it from a seller on this site. I can't think of the S/N of the guy that made it... either way, its a POS. Cracked around the 2 gauges about a month after I put it in.
