Definately electrical...mechanical gauges are dangerous (IE oil pressure gauge means you have a line of oil coming inside of the cabin) and electrical gauges only have wire to run...

I think the only mechanical gauge a car should have is Boost/VAC. Anything else should be electrical.

I dissagree with everyone. Electric gauges are not as acurate and do no react as quick in changes. Theres nothing wrong with running lines in the car as long as they are steel braided. The lines only cost like 20 bucks more.
