Ive been looking at these gauges and i like how they look in blue, im planing on buying the mechanical boost gauge, electric oil pressure and electric oil temp. Now i got a Q i have some stewart warner's that came with the car Now if i buy these evo prosports can i use all the wiring and sending units from the stewart warners ?

You could use the same wiring only if you were to splice the couplers of each gauge, meaning, how (coupler shape) the wires plug into the sending unit and the guage are most likely different, but should have the same number of wires and probably the same gauge of wire too.
I hope that helps your question.

Most likely not, the senders are normally calibrated to work with the gauge, or have specific specs... its possible they use the same 0-5 volts 0-XXXpsi and may read similar.

OK, I'll be the one...
I like the panel, but hate the gauges. Two reasons: A well-designed gauge allows one to see its relative reading at a glance. A glance. Reason being, when one's car is moving fast enough to need gauges, the driver doesn't have the time concentrate his vision on an instrument. Second reason, any visual package like above is susceptible to sunlight as a blurring agent, making the driver concentrate even more on something that should be visible at a .... glance. Almost pointless.

I like the boost gauges that have the needle as well as the digital number. I currently have an AEM AFR gauge and don't really care about matching. Just want a PSI Boost Gauge that is accurate and reliable.
Anyone know where these are made?
AEM and Prosport? Stack gauges look nice too but no digital reading. May still consider others if more accurate or reliable.
