like the title says, can i just run the car without that sensor or will something catastrophic happen?

If you run without the sensor your "oil pressure low" warning light will never light. That's fine if you check your oil regularly.

nothing catasrophic will happen but I believe your low oil light will come on.

Honestly, the best thing to do is buy a sandwhich that goes on before the oil filter, it has ports on the side for gauges AND oil feed.

I have had many different setups, from tee'ing them all off of one location on the firewall to others and I think the sandwhich is the cleanest.

I got one that lets me run an external oil cooler also on my ride.

Doing it the way I said, you can leave the oil sensor on still too...

I don't run the oil pressure switch with my setup, but then again I check my oil regularly and have an oil pressure gauge. I've always heard it's a dummy light that doesn't come on until it's too late anyways.
