Default Quick gauge question

I searched and couldnt find my answer. What is a full sweep gauge? And why is it like double the cost of a regular one?

Oh and as far as an oil pressure gauge goes... should I got mechanical or electrical? Which is easier to install? Is it easy to connect with the turbo kit installed or do I have to tap the oil pan? Is there a good oil filter adapter or anything out?

full sweep is like our stock gauges, when u turn the car on, the gauge does a full rotation, then goes to the position it needs to be at

oil pressure gauge... ELECTRICAL ONLY!!!! if you get a mechanical oil pressure gauge, you run a oil line into the car... VERY BAD IDEA

you will also need to get an oil block adaptor to install that gauge. basically its a block that connects to the oil pan, and the filter connects to that block. the block has about 5 or 5 spaces where u can tap into (pre-drilled). greddy makes a very nice one, so search for theirs on ebay or somethin
