Was "Cyberdyne gauges?" NO! Now they're AutoMeter (see page three)
Anyone have experience with Cyberdyne digital gauges?
Most have programmable warning and are available with optional hi/lo memory recall. Black faces with red, blue, green, or amber led displays.
Are they accurate? Reliable?

Does that make your 944 a part of skynet?
I think I want digital gauges (boost and fuel pressure) for below the radio to make it easier to read (boost) while driving at speed. Besides, I'm putting an Innovate XD-16 wideband AFR gauge (digital) there also.
A few issues:
1. VDO doesn't make an electric fuel pressure gauge.
2. AutoMeter (even Z-series) looks a little muscle-car-ish for my taste.
3. Defi seems a bit pricey (even if you do get what you pay for) and I've read that (and I may be mistaken) that a "D-Link" unit is needed to tie them together, making then even more expensive.
4. There's also Stewart-Warner, but the only black bezeled gauges have white faces and, while they're kinda nice, I've never really liked the white gauge faces as a matter of general principle.
Anyway, I've done a little (rudimentary) Photoshopping using a LR gauge panel and various gauges for the set-up I want to get a better idea of how it looks. (I made an actual size version to put in the car. ****, or what?) What do you think? (NOT about the **** part.)

I'd like to monitor fuel pressure and I've read that mechanical, underhood type gauges frequently tend to leak after a while from the heat and vibration if they're mounted on the fuel rail. A remote underhood mount is a possibility, but why not just go electric in the cabin?

Mine isnt on my rail, but I've had no issues with leaking. Teflon tape + firm placement hasnt been an issue for me even with coil-overs and spherical bushings and solid mounts.

I guess you guys didn't get my joke. Skynet is not a skyline. Here is the wikipedia paragraph of cyberdyne:
"As depicted in the film The Terminator and Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Cyberdyne is initially a benign manufacturing corporation in Los Angeles, California. After a T-800 series Terminator, Cyberdyne Systems Model 101— a cyborg from the future, designed to kill humans — is crushed in one of the company's hydraulic presses, the company secretly begins manufacturing technological devices based on reverse engineering the Terminator's remains."

I just got a Cyberdyne digital boost gauge, but have not had the chance to install it yet.
From the research I did, I found no real complaints about them...perhaps they are a little too bright some mentioned.

What kind of problems are associated with the dimmer wire? Problem with the car wiring or the gauge?
Are you suggesting to leave the dimmer wire disconnected during installation?
