Yep. For reference I've got an Alloytec.
SAAS makes a component which adapts the stock M16x1.5 thread of the LLT to a 1/8 NPT thread, sadly they screwed the pooch with the fitting by using silicone washers, so I replaced those with copper crush washers (It's a banjo fitting, and we all know Banjos need copper washers!). I have already got a SAAS oil pressure gauge on there to monitor that side of things, at least to some degree, but it's by no means accurate. Most gauges come with 1/8NPT fittings.
As for Boost and Vacuum, well I made a spacer for those which adds 3x 1/8 NPT ports between the TB and IM. Currently i've got a prototype version of the part working my Bimodals at the moment, and plan on releasing these in batches of five or so when I get to the final stage. The AEM gauges use an electronic pressure sensor which happens to take a 1/8 NPT fitting.
As for an AFR gauge you gotta weld an O2 sensor bung into your exhaust somewhere. On NA cars AEM recommends you stick it 18" from the headers. It'll probs get moved when I eventually boost.
So i'll probs go with AEM's gauge kit. Depends on how the USD goes, otherwise if the Defi ends up cheaper i'll go with that. Both are top quality gauge kits though
