Need Aftermarket Gauge Help

I just purchased a set of Sunpro elec. gauges (ammeter, oil press & temp.). I need a couple questions answered before I can install them. First, what are the exact sizes of the oil and temp. sending units so that I can get metric adapters. Second, does out temp. sending unit affect our ECU (Vibe GT)? If so, I will have to find another location for the temp. sending unit. If I have to relocate the gauge sending unit, where should this be done and what size is that location.Anybody's help will be greatly appreciated.

I bought them on new on Ebay. They all are the bar type. I got them because they very much resemble the Vibe's gauges, black when not on.

I've got an AEM alternator pully on the way. I took off my Bomz intake and made my own Ram Air. It works great. If you touch the ram hose even when the engine is hot, it is cool.

I converted your picture to a .jpg file, and "compressed" it a little. (It's only 54,000k instead of 750,000k)Where are you planning on putting the gauges? I wouldn't mind a mechanical oil pressure gauge, but unsure where to put it.

It is raining pretty hard outside but I took a quick pic from the outside. I will get pics under the hood tomorrow. anyway, I took the stock airbox bottom, turned it upside down, attached a K&N for a stock airbox and took an air scoop for an A/C diffusser and used small long nuts and bolts to attach it to the air box. The hose is 3" aluminum tubing for HVAC applications. I know, it looks ghetto but it works great. The hose is almost COLD after repeated lift runs. I even had 2 small Ram Air decals made and put them on the bumper.

I bought a universal 3 gauge pillar pod. I am expecting to receive it Monday.
