I have an all stock 1985 T-Bird Turbo Coupe equipped 47 Ford Coupe and I want to use a pimp, a pimp harness, and a wide band O2 sensor and Spartan controller. I also want to purchase the all in one gauge for the car to keep an eye on all the parameters. Is the gauge easily configured in with the harness?
I see that it says an ACT sensor is a requirement for the pimp and not sure there is one stock with this year model. So do I actually need an ACT to make this work and do you have these available? I also want to replace the injectors while I am at it, so which injectors will work with the stock fuel pump and the pimp harness the best and have room to grow with future intake swap to a better breathing intake? I am not sure I want to use speed sensing for data logging, but will signal for that be taken off the speedo cable sensor if I do? Thanks in advance for the help.

The gauge connects to the ECU, not the harness, as the ECU is already getting all the signals the gauge needs. The ECU expansion connector listed on the site is required to connect the gauge. Only the CAN wires are needed for the gauge, not the complete 32 pin harness.
An ACT sensor is required. You are correct that your application doesn't have one in stock form. We sell the harness pigtail (or the PiMP harness comes ready to plug in the sensor). We don't sell the ACT, you can get one from your local parts store, just get one for an 88 Turbo Coupe.
All injectors we sell will work with the stock pump and PiMP harness. I don't know your mods, what mods you plan, or how much power you want to make so I can't suggest an injector size. Typically the 60's are large enough if you're keeping the stock head/cam.
Factory speed sensor that goes in the transmission tailshaft is used for ECU speed signal. With that said, that's also only found in the 87-88 Turbo Coupe (and 5.0 Mustangs and such) so you'd need to retrofit that if you want those features.

Thanks for the reply in advance.
I will order the expansion plug, and do I just need to order 2 wires with pins for the CAN high and CAN low wires to connect the perfect tuning gauge?

It also needs fused 12v power and ground but those don't have to go through the expansion connector.

Great, thanks. I did forget to ask if the ACT sensor needs to be before the turbo housing inlet, or after it closer to the throttle plate? Or will it be okay if it is closer to the air filter?

It needs to read the temperature of the air entering the engine which will be significantly hotter than the air entering the filter. So it needs to be after the turbo and if you have an intercooler, after the intercooler. Put it in a place where it's not likely to heat soak if possible (not around the hot turbo/exhaust manifold or above the engine).
