So if I want to change out the cluster gauges I would loose the ecutek ability for traction control setting visuals and anything else using oil temp gauge. No work around or way to ungrounded it? I am electrical savvy.

I would'nt bet on a workaround but it may be possible. When I tore the thing apart last week there were only 5 wires to the main harness on it. ( Constant , Switched, Ground and the other two I assumed were input to the oil temp but I'm a cop not an engineer so don't trust that. ) The assembly itself is much cheesier than you would imagine since it's hidden behind the hoods and the dash. The other discovery is that once you pull the hoods off you are permanently in double sided tape land. A second but important thing to remember ( I knew it before I glued but I still did'nt pay attention. ) IF you decide to go custom guages mark the hood and the gauge housings in 1,2,3 order because if you permanently afix the gauges to a housing thats your permanent order unless you feel like breaking them apart and putting them in the order you initially wanted. ( I will be showing Oil temp, AFR and Oil press. I wanted to show Oil Temp , Oil Press and AFR )

I could be wrong but I don't think the car will even idle with 1150s and the stock map. You tripled the injector size so it's going to triple the fuel its dumping.

If there is wires instead of PCB going to the oil temp gauge I can certainly solder extension wires and cap the rest of the stiff off belonging to volt and clock. My goal would be to get the oil temp into the cubby for on the fly ecutek changes.

Any pictures by chance?
