kinda like this dru?
the way it goes is... block ---> Tee ---> OEM oil pres sensor ---> oil temp ---> autometer oil pres (before needle valve) ---> needle valve ---> mechanical oil pressure (after needle valve) ---> turbo
maybe that will help someone hehe

Re:oil pressure gauge
Mechanical oil pressure gauges are dangerous to have in the car. I know someone who got sprayed with hot oil when his hose decided to rupture. Wasn't pretty. Here is what I'm doing. I got an electronic unit from ebay and am just hooking up a simple voltage compare circuit to turn on the gauge light when the pressure is below let's say 5 PSI.
Other than that, just go to a hydraulic store and get an oil manifold. It's basically a bar with 3 threaded fittings in it. Then get a male to male for your block.
