hooking up an oil presure gauge
 

where do i hook up a line for an oil presure gauge

Re:hooking up an oil presure gauge
 

It depends on whether you have a mechanical or electrical gauge, and wether your trying to read the pressure of the motor or the turbo.

same place for an oil feed line, right beside the oil filter. looks like a black rubber nipple w/ a wire coming out.. you need to tee in fittings. btw, stock block is tapped for 1/8 BSP.

cool! that sounds easy, thanks

Re:hooking up an oil presure gauge
 

I would reccomend getting an electric gauge. If you use a mechanical (where you have to run an oil line inside the car) and you have any problems. The mess that you end up with is a pain in the ass.

Check out our fitting in the for sale posts. It let's you trake off oil via a 1/8th NPT oil port, while retaining your stock 1/8th BSPT oil pressure switch.

what about if you are already running a tuner toys fitting for your turbo feedline? just tee off of the feed line?

Re:hooking up an oil presure gauge
 

if thath's the case i think you should runn a line to the firewall off of the tuner toyz fitting. and then at the fire wall have the needed Tee's. This way would take most if not all of the load off the fitting. vibrations suck.
