Does removing the stock sensor and replacing it with the gauge sensor cause us any problems with the "onboard"? I suspect water temp will, but a can't see how oil pressure would. I thought I might use "T's" to connect both stock and guage sensors, ..any comments? Sizes and threads would be great! Finally, where the hell is the oil presure sensor??? It must be on the engine block but I'll be damned if I can find it!!! Also anyone who has installed guages, and has some tips for me, I would really appreciate it.

The oil pressure switch is located behind the a/c compressor on the v6. From what I've seen and heard, it is a real pain to get to. There is another place to hook up to read oil pressure, up on the rear cyl. head, but it,s not really a good indication of actual pressure because it,s so far up from the pump. Do a search on gauges and you'll find all the info on this location (even a picture or two). 98 evo 0 SVT #2999 of 6535 Silver Frost/Midnight Blue Lotsa bolt-ons
