I want to run oil pressure gauge and light. Also want to run oil temp gauge. My problem is...... where the sender for the light is I currently have a mechanical oil pressure gauge and the oil line for my turbo bearing. The turbo bearing feed works very well from that spot so I would like to leave it there. Where can I put the senders for everything else?

Do you have a remote filter? There should be a spot on top of it to drill and tap.

That would be for the oil pressure or temp?

I have a T at the block. Make sure you get the correct metric pipe thread. Sorry I forget the size. Then run pressure and light there. Then you could put the temp on the oil filter. Or if you have a type 3 case you can put the temp where the type 3 dipstick goes. They make an adaptor for it. Think it's like $12.00.

Is there any other place besides where the factory sender goes to put a oil pressure sender?
