    oil pressure gauge install

    where should I put the sensor?
    Is it best to take out the factory sensor and replace it with the aftermarket gauge?
    Any good spots or ways of doing it?

      For anyone who was also wondering, I ended up buying and adaptor so I could run the new gauge from where the existing oil pressure sensor was.

              I have a couple of adapters for those interested.

              Yes, its best to use the existing oil pressure switch location and T it off or use a sensor with built in switch.

                  You want to run one of these

                  I can't say for all pressure sensors, but my S50 euro was M12 x 1.5
