Default oil feeds question

I am currently using a tee off the back of the block to feed my turbo, never had a problem with it. I just bought an electrical autometer oil pressure gauge and I need to install the sender. What are the rest of the turbo guys doing to supply oil to both the turbo and the gauge?

would you happen to have a pic of it?

anyone use one of those oil filter sandwhich things in this situation? I know there has to be quite a few people running an elect oil pressure gauge with their turbo.

I can get a pic when I get home. I do know people run the sandwich adapters and they seem to work fine as well. Basically what I'm using is a vaccum manifold that I got for around 14.00 from http://www.mcmaster.com. I have a -6an feed line into the distribution block then I have my oil pressure sending unit and my oil turbo feed line with a -3 fitting coming out. Seems to work well.

This is what I used for my oil feed setup. Actually, I used the Flamenco-T oil feed and then just added the extra line a a couple of fittings so that I didnt have that big heavy sending unit stressing the back of my block.

FOrSfEd, do you have the McMaster Part# for your distribution block?
