Default Guages, tell me about them

im putting a guage set together and am wondering what i can use, i know i need egt, boost and fuel pressure. my question to you is, can i mis match them, for example, can i save some money and buy mechanical boost and egt guages and just get the electric fuel pressure, or do i haveto run all electrics or all mechnical?



also, can you use mechanical fuel pressure guages? seems like everyone is using all full sweep electric.

thanks

The only mechanical I will have, after my order arrives from DNM (thanks Jason), is the boost gauge. The EGT, Trans temp & Fuel press. are electric.
