iam running my stock temp gauge and a aftermarket gauge. the stock one is half way like normal. the aftermarket one reads 230. iam running both off the same sending unit. does it matter if there on the same one? sometimes it seems to run alittle hot. not sure wich one is right. any ideas thanks.

i am running the ka radiator and two 10inch fans for now.

aftermarket gauges require their own sensors unless you're running something similar to the hks fan controller which can be set to different oem temp sensors.

bingo

cant use the same sending unit because they are calibrated differently.
