Do all gauges have common connections?

Question

folks,

My P1 came with a 3 gauge pod (voltmeter, Boost meter, and oil temp). I'm thinking of changing the guages to some better looking ones (the ones fitted are a bit ugly) so my question is can I simply change them in the pod without running new connections? do manufacturer's use common connections? I know the difference between mechanical and electrical types.

Also can the Defi's be fitted as "normal" independant gauges rather than the daisy chain defi link system?

Sorry if these are novice questions just need to make sure i'm up to speed before spending cash!

thanks
Keith

AFAIK different gauges use different sensors. My SPA ones seem to be different to autometer ones although I wouldn't swear that they are all different. Sorry I couldn't be more help

regarding defi
they have to be daisy chained (connected) together,but there are long leads available so they dont have to be in a pod if thats what u mean
