Default installing gauges (just verifyin wire sources)

ok so i just bought my oil press, boost, and a/f guages. and the solenoid thing or whatever you call it that screws into the oil pressure sender seems like it would be hella hard to try to find a way to put it on the stealthmode piece. it was actually hard enough tryin to get the oil line on the stealthmode piece itself because on one side there is the black box, on the top there is the pipe, on the back there is that plastic cover for the wires, and on the other side there is not much room either and on the bottom is the oil filter. has anyone else experienced this before?

UPDATE: pics say a thousand words:





thanx ya bastads

This is kind of hard to see. In the upper right hand corner, you can see 2 TEE fittings.

Sensor ---TEE--- Connector ---TEE--- Oil Pressure Gauge

I put another T to the side of the block before the turbo.

Also, you might want to get a hose clamp on that coolant line above you oil pressure port!!!!!

hey what kinda lines do you use to go from the tuner toys fitting at the block, to the T?

do i just go like this:

block: tuner toys fitting:stock oil pressure sensor

tunertoys fitting: stealthmode oil lines: Brass T:

Brass T: oil lines: turbo

Brass T: oil press guage solenoind thing

if this is correct where could i find another -3AN oil feed line for cheap?

or could i use somethin else to go from the tuner toys fittin to the brass T?

thanx

here is how mine is set up, you can see it on the firewall.


The first time I put a kit together I found enough room to to hook the sender to the tunertoys fitting on the back of the block. But the sender lasted about two months and than gave out on me, scared the ---- out of me. I bought a second sender and put it on the firewall kit and havent had it go bad for over a year. I have a sneaky suspision the first sender went bad because of the vibrations on the back of the block. Or it could have just been a bad sender. Personally I will always mount the senders on the firewall from here on out.

sounds good to me. I put in the Dual fitting into my block, then put the turbo oil line to one/oil psi guage to the other/and the stock "CRAP YOUR OUT OF OIL PSI" light to the other
