CA Need help (FD with Microtech LTX-8) gauges not working

I had my FD wired up with a Microtech LTX-8 EMS from Rene at RMS now all my gauges dont work at all but fuel. Anybody here in Socal know how to fix it or help me out, I will pay them. Anybody have an FD with similar problems that had theirs fixed please let me know. need this done ASAP or else I will just go with Apexi Power FC.
Located in Long Beach.

Well...speaking from experience using a Microtech on my FC, the temp gauge will not work anymore and the tach needs to be wired in to the EMS.

As far as your speedo is concerned, I don't see any reason why it shouldn't work.

Install an aftermarket temp gauge.

I know with the LS1 swaps we have to ground a few wires at X-14 in order to get the cluster working again...
