tee off the oil pressure sending unit on the back of the block . u need a brass tee fitting to screw in to the block then you screw in the stock opsu and sender for the guage . hook the service wire up from the sender to the gauge .then just hook the power and ground on the gauge and your done .

the opsu (oil pressure sending unit) is the most driver side sensor screwed into the back of the block . it has a lime greenish connector on it .

LED tails : Done for now!

This works well if you need more ports too.

It should be a 3/8 tee and you will need an adaptor to go from 3/8 to 1/8 for the Autometer sender. If you plan on reusing the stock oil pressure sender (nobody really does though) it will screw into the 3/8 part without any adaptors.

You can get all this at a Lowes or similar store:

1 - 3/8 NPT Female Tee
1 - 3/8 NPT Hex Nipple (To screw into the tee for screwing into the block)
1 - 3/8 NPT to 1/8 NPT Reducer (For the Autometer Gauge)

I don't see why not? If you were to do that this or something like it may also help too for cooler oil temps.

Here's how I have mine. It was set up for both the sending unit and future feed line (thus the cap on the one end). I never went turbo, but I would suggest, if you're going to do both, for ease of future access and to prevent vibration-related failures, you install a barb fitting into the block and then run a feed line up to a junction box somewhere on the firewall where you can better reach it. Then you can tap your feed and gauge off that block.

Thats a great idea, as for the junction box itself, would it be almost like that oil filter adapter, but without being hooked up the oil filter??

Good God. Why all the adapter fittings on that bitch?

Torque = Force x Distance. That is all I am going to say.

I use that sandwich. It has three ports to run off if you choose. You need to use a shorter oil filter with these too otherwise it will be the lowest point on the car.

I figured instead of making a new thread about it I would update this one on how I installed an AEM oil pressure gauge. I used a lot less fittings than that guy up there lol. The install was alot easier than I thought it would be. Just keep in mind, stock OPSU is 3/8", most aftermarket are 1/8".
