As for the oil pressure gauge; the reason your friend would say to not use the mechanical one is because it involves running an oil line containing HOT oil into the cabin. For the other question I have no info.

Re: autometer guage questions (De_tour)
IMO is doesn't matter on the type of boost gauge. I have the mechanical Defi boost (Defi D gauge) and love it. I've also had the electronic boost gauge from Defi (Blue racer) and loved it.
I want to warn you about the autometer boost gauge. I had one and it was off by more than 4psi.
