I would hardly call a gauge pod "factory" but thats just my opinion. As far as the instrumentation goes, the 996 cluster IS oil pressure, not temp. As for Air/Fuel, its only useful if you have a way to adjust it, i.e. a tuned turbo car running a Utech for example. Unless you're going to ditch the factory ECU for a standalone management system, an Air/Fuel gauge isnt going to do you much good at all. If you are running a boosted car, of course, a boost gauge is nice.

All in all, I still contend this is a very worthwhile mod.
