Default Running no oil pressure switch ok?

Im done with my ls vtec build and on my golden eagle sandwich plate there is only 2 ports one for the oil feed to the head and im boosted so the oil feed for the turbo. I have a greddy oil pressure gauge. Is it ok to remove the oil pressure switch and put my sending unit there instead?

Yeah, providing the thread is the same. I'd rather a actual gauge than a light what comes on when it's to late...

Thats where I have my Defi sending unit.
Leave the plug just hanging loose.
No CEL and no oil light will come on.

Becareful installing the sending unit. Most sending units are 1/4 NPT. the stock honda sensor 1/4 BPT.
they make an adaptor that screws in the block then the sending unit screws into it.

OEM sensor is 1/8 bpt and I believe the Greddy sender has the correct thread and is small enough not to require a remote mount. OP should be good to go.
