I say not install them if you dont have any mods done to your car. The AF is useless anyway. The oil pressure CAN serve a purpose but again if your car is stock, why bother other than to look cool?. If it is electric, you will need the sender. If it is manual, you will need to run a line from the tapped location to the gauge. You can either tee off the oil pressure sending unit or the oil filter with a sandwich.

well with hi revving motors, if you mound it strait to the block, you run the risk of it comming loose from the vibrations.

why would you risk the fitting coming lose and you won't risk the oil pressure sensor coming lose?

i would think the fitting for the oil pressure guage would be lighter than the oil pressure sensor thats on there now.

this is... that you don't use the oil pressure sensor anymore.
