Hello bud,
I know what your saying.. Ive gone thru 3 different types till i got some i was happy with,

Ive got Prosport stepper style gauges, Boost and oil temp. These all came with the fittings required to fit them, apart from the adapter for the #3 cylinder,
They have a starting ceromony and you can set them with audio a warning
they also change colour from white ( day time ) to red at night.

Because of a mistake i managed to order two of each gauges,
i was keeping them ( just in case )... It would cost too much to send them back as well..

So if you wanna nice set then Pm me and i will send some pics, they are worth £79.98,
am happy to take £30 +p+p

Oil PRESSURE sender usually screws straight into the place you take the oil pressure warning light switch OUT of, which is a tapping behind the alternator. You don't need gauge AND warning light.

You only need the adaptor for No. 3 cylinder to do oil TEMPERATURE.

Mine came from Scoobymania, in Nottingham.
