Default prosport premium gauges

Hi all just purchased 4 gauges, oil temp and pressure, water temp and boost psi, they all come with sender but do I need anything else?
I have a 95 2.5 classic.

Had My gauges in for nearly a year now, with a sandwich plate. I dont loads of research before hand, heard all the stories some good some bad as per norm, as long as the sandwich plate it installed correctly there will be no problems.

Is this method possible for a MY03 STI, too and does anybody have some pictures?

Same method, yes. Most folk don't bother wth the T-piece, just put the o/p sender where the switch was, put the switch on a shelf in the garage: if you have a gauge, you should have no need of a switch.
