Awesome idea man. Never even thought about using something like that. Should have thought of that before. I build alot of trucks/cars with airbags and that would make it way easier to pull a line off a bag since I dont use the compression fittings and use hydraulic instead. Thanks for pointing that out man, gonna make **** easier in the future for sure.

That's because that is stainless steal! The brass fitting is MUCH less

Just realized something also, the fitting i was looking for is 1/8" NPT male x 1/8" BSPT FEMALE for the stock oil sensor to screw into for my tee, and they dont make this fitting in brass. So i'm gonna try to screw the stock sensor into my 1/8" npt thread and see how it works.

Here is a fiting made specifically for what you guys are doing. Sorry to be whoring up our own products, but these are perfect for the task, and are well proven. Made from steel, not brass or aluminum. A nice feature of these is that the rear port is made with the proper threads to reinstall your stock sensor.
The male port of the adapter goes into the engine block. The stock sensor installs into the back of the adapter. (No extension of the wiring needed.) Two 1/8NPT side ports can be used for turbo oil, or firewall distribution.
No aftermarket sensors should be mounted to this adapter, only the stock sensor and remote lines.
Hope that makes your project easier.
