Default oil pressure sensor

is it just me, or does it seem like its gonna be hard as hell for me to see this thing? i always change my own oil, and i can barely see the oil filter, how the hell am i gonna be able to see the oil pressure sender? can you just see it by sitting under the car? and you have to take off the oil filter to access it right?

yes you can see it from under the car, their is a black rubber plug over top of it. if your going to be running oil lines off of it remove the oil filter.

ok so a guy on turbod16 said just cut off the cone shaped black plug, without cutting the wire. BUT then do i cut the plug as close to the sensor as possible, and after i put in the threaded piece, do i then reattatch the wire to the piece? sorry for the noobie questions, first install. takin forever

im askin if it IS in fact ok to cut the black cone-shaped plug (which i was advised to do on turbod16) and if it IS ok to cut it. how far back do i cut it, and do i reconnect it after installing the stealthmode piece?
