Okay cool...
My gauge still working good.  I just want the digital gauge with tach and other stuff (time, and etc.)
If I cut the end of the connector that lead into the gauge, then I need to solder some LEDs at the end of the cut for the lights I needed.

I'm assuming that the kit comes with all the wire for the tach right?

What about your engine temp?

Not all the pins are used/necessary. You can even go without them if you want...

Is your stock gauge in working condition? If it's a broken POS you can cut the wires between the connector and the gauges and wire those into the LEDs.

For the tach you need a resistor in-line (along the wire). I believe it needs to be at least 600K Ohm.

Edit: pics here http://www.raptorforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2616 (first post) show the tach lead (+) that needs to have a resistor wired inline.

Do you want the Vapor instead of the stock gauges or as an addition?

Trail tech sells a temp wire for air/oil cooled engines. It has a copper ring at the end of it that you place under your spark plug.

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me--and there was no one left to speak for me.

I want the vapor actually...I just want to make sure everything from the stock gauge.
I live in TX so the temp may come handy in April - Sept
