Why are you getting those gauges? If you care about the car, it makes more sense to me to get oil pressure, oil temperature and maybe EGT.

So this is for looks? Unless you're heavily modifying the car or racing, you don't need gauges. Save the money and spend it on something else.

I can't heavily modify my car its a CVT. But I do plan on doing the most I could outside of boosting my car. As for now mostly cosmetic but I do plan on making the most of it.

Good gauges aren't cheap. Three defis with the controller unit are close to $1000.

You definitely shouldn't be trying to install gauges yourself. It sounds like you need a professional install. Take it to a shop
