the price is craaaazy cheap though and include senders.I think I'm going to load up on boost and A/F
You should be able to re-use the sender but you may require to convert the signal. Not a big deal but may not be worth it.

I got this e-mail from them... they might be a real good deal...
This was in question about using existing senders, warrenty on parts and accuracy...
"I am not 100% sure if the senders are exactly alike-we have been in the industry for over 30 years and nearly everyone uses the same type of senders, meaning the same range. there are some slight variations. Many years ago we supplied Autometer with gauge movements & housings but not senders, so I am not familiar with their exact spec. Long story short, it should work fine I am 90% confident. The gauges all carry a one year warranty -we recently tested ours side by side along with Defi, Greddy & Autometer and the results even surprised me. We used Boost gauges and sent them out to a shop called IA Perfomrance(out of State) to get some independent results.(Tested at 27 PSI)
Defi +2 PSI
Greddy +3 PSI
Autometer +2 PSI
Prosport +.5 PSI
So, you do not have to worry about the accuracy.
You can still use your existing wiring, and imo that is the hardest part to run. Worst case senario you try it with your senders and if they do not work put our supplied ones on."

spoke with them and we need to order atleast 150 or so gauges to get a custom face.
Thats a group buy I wouldn't have time nor energy to organize. Places like TTStuff or other Audi tuners could handle it though IMHO.
