I'm looking to buy Oil Temp, Oil Pressure, and Water Temp guages for my S5 n/a, I was curious what sweep for the needle do I need to buy?
I am looking at the Autometer Ultra-lite series, and they have these guages in 3 diff sweep veriations. Their relative price to each other is not an issue, I just need to know which will give me the best accuracy for the temp and pressure range my car will spend most of its time in.
Thanks

Well autometer ultra-lite - electric only has 90deg sweep, and mech - full sweep. But I dont want oil coming into the cabin and running the lines for the mech guage.
What kinds of pressures (hi & lo) and temps (hi & lo) can i expect to see on a S5 n/a with a street port and full RB TII exhaust?

Everyone hates Autometer...but the alternatives are not that great either (in some respect or another - ie. price).
I am talking about the Ultra-lite series, which is one of the better lines of guages they offer.
