Yep! The same one.

It's a good gauge, except these sending units... Oh yeah, the one I have (and the replacement I received) have a bronze color to them. The one in the pic is silver. Maybe a newer version?

The sending unit itself is a bit on the large size, good 2 inches in diameter, and almost 3 inches tall. Make sure you have clearance for it.

It lasted just over a year. Not that many miles, about 3.5K, oh well.

Yeah that's not long at all.
Hmm decisions decisions.
Definitely should have both boost and oil pressure in addition to the wideband for vortech sc kit I think.
If I buy them separately would need to get a second gauge pod or something to hold the 3rd gauge which will add more clutter to the dash and all.

why do you need boost for a sc it will always make the same boost no chance of boost spike if anything you will lose boost and a wideband will let you know that with a rich reading asap

Yeah, let me get the camera. Hold on.


Just another pic with flash.


Bottom gauge, idle vac (would show boost, but without the - ), no flash.



Bottom gauge, oil pressure, pic with no flash.


Ok, sending unit. That's the one with the 2 posts, located on a T on the oil filter relocation kit.



The red-yellow-green circular bars show oil pressure. They are on in both oil pressure and boost/vac modes. There's an alarm built-in for when oil press. drops below 10psi, but that's too low for our cars anyway.

Come to think about it, the reason oil pressure sending unit was flipping out on me, is because the electrical connection was getting loose on one of those posts... I guess I should've kept the 'defective' unit.
