Buy a water cooled t25 gauge and matching sender. I used a different sender on my porsche gauges and it's too sensitive. I was told by a Subaru tuner that the Subaru gauge doesn't move away from the gauge centre position until it gets to 110 degrees Celsius. My gauge moves up and down all the time, makes you a little paranoid as it creeps up into the red every time the fans just want to kick in, soo, I've bought the matched sender for my gauge now and I'm hoping it'll be less sensitive.

thats a pretty standard thing on Jap cars, my Mazda and Nissan are the same.
the static zone is 80 to 110c.
I hate that feature, by the time the gauge starts moving again at 110c you only have another 10c before they start boiling.
if its still going up after 100c they are starting to get hot.
