and there is many more.
Im not a big fan of tee'ing of the block, run a line from the stock oil pressure sensor loc. into a oil distribution block and go from there.

 

ok i need help on this too.. did some search... but not that clear to me... DIAGRAMS = key.. anyhow, i hear a lot about T'ing off the oil sensor... but how do i do that when i already T'd it for my oil feed line? do i throw another T in there? oh yeah, i got one of'm cheap autometer oil gauges also..

 

Got all the parts at McMaster-carr

If it is an electric gauge you need to make sure that the sender is grounded to the car.

ok good pic, but that looks like the oil feed line with the oil gauge line connected to it???
the oil feed goes from turbo to block/oil sensor T.. how does that go to what this pic shows? is there 2 T's????

 

mcmaster has stainless steel crosses they, are pricey but very good I did mine in all ss

Just one tee, took the stock oil press. switch out and just run a line from the stock oil press. to the tee.

 

Make sure that you are using a BSPT theads for the oil line coming off the Block
NPT is a different pitch of threads...

you will neeed a BSP or BSPT to NPT Adapter or if you can find it BSPT to -AN adapter

NPT is the standard for most sending units..
make sure to ground the sender too..
otherwise it wont work

Theres detailed instructions there.

DONT USE BRASS fittings when you can buy better steel ones for nearly the same cost.
DONT HANG SENDER ON BLOCK if its electrical

and i DO suggest getting an electrical gauge. Im just not fond of wendys straw holding the fate of my engine. breaks, and boom super soaker oil slick and no bearings by the time the light comes on if you are preoccupied not paying attention at all times. Or squirts all over you from the pillar. Its not a tractor, so why run oil into the car for some go go gadget gauge. Just IMO.

Good luck.
