Default Is this too much splitting?

Got the b16 head back finally, wondering if this is splitting too much. dont really want to take my oil pressure gauge out. but i can throw the dummy light sensor back on, if i am going to get false readings from splitting this too much, or not enough pressure.

might give a little presume lag but i dought its really bad
id personally put the T on the fire wall with the gauges hood up straight to it, instead of having so many long lines

I had the same setup minus the oil line to cylinder head, and the ****** broke off the block due to the weight. Had a huge oil mess to clean up! Like atticus said, run a line to the fire wall, mount your splitter on a homemade bracket. It may save your engine

I'd agree about too many fittings on the block to handle the vibrations.

And I'd swap the line going to your gage and your turbo. You want the least number of restrictive 90Deg bends going to your important stuff. Head gets the straight through, turbo gets the single 90 and gage gets whatever the ---- is left.

You risking it man, sometimes people break their ---- by screwing just the sensor alone into the black. Get a 12-18" oil line and zip tie all these tee's somewhere on the firewall or intake manifold.
