I suggest using a sandwich plate as well, some people prefer to run T's off the back of the block.

Sandwich plates just seem less of a hassle to me, and it makes a cleaner install.

sandwich plate will work or t off the oil sender, there are many people who make kits for it.

it really doesnt matter either way. skipping the sandwich adapter will save you like 40 bucks

sandwich plate works great as long as it seals to the block and doesnt leak oil out from there

I run a straight -4 braided line and remote mount it to my firewall. then I use a female 1/8 tee, put the stock dummy light in one side and run another -4 braided line to the turbo. ive never messed with any sandwich plates.
