Default VDO gauges and stock 240 turbo wiring...

So I had a question about the VDO gauges.

All the small gauges (5 bar oil pressure, and 10-16 volt) in my 240 turbo are all VDO, would the aftermarket VDO gauge work with the sender for the oil pressure gauge and will the volt meter be a direct plug in and read accurately? if not will the sender for the new one fit where the stock one is? I got a VDO boost gauge a while back and I'd like the rest of the worn out looking ones to match the new one.

Thanks in advance

Vdo gauges are Vdo gauges. If the stock ones work, cockpit or vision gauges will work as replacements 98% of the time. I have cockpit gauges in all my cars
