Here's another vendor's product that appears to offer more flexibility in programming exactly what you want to display. Kind of makes me wish I knew about them before buying the BTI gauge!

I'm too old-school to deal with CANbus stuff.

I'm also old-school that I prefer analog (display) gauges...
I have a couple of old SPI Motorsport gauges that have really nice backlighting, but I've lost the pressure sensor for the fuel pressure gauge, and I can't find a replacement.
I've been eyeing the Stack stuff for years but never had the money to go after them - each gauge is $200+.
I also was trying to cut down the number of gauge installed, cause it's just mentally fatiguing to scan all of them!
Current have:
* 60mm peak / hold GReddy boost gauge
* 60mm peak / hold GReddy EGT gauge
* J&S dual knock + narrow-band O2 display
* 52mm SPI fuel pressure gauge (not working, no sensor)
* 52mm SPI water temp gauge
* 2-1/8" VDO oil temp gauge
* 2-1/8" VDO oil pressure gauge
* 46mm HKS voltmeter - for system voltage
* 46mm HKS voltmeter - for fuel pump voltage

I'm going to consolidate the oil temp and water temp gauge by running a DPDT switch to switch between the sensors and running a single gauge.
I'm going to consolidate the oil pressure and fuel pressure gauge by running a DPDT switch to switch between...
I'm going to consolidate the system voltage and fuel pump voltage by running a DPST switch between...
You get the idea.
