Title: Oil pressure and temp sensor location
Post by: Froos on May 17, 2016, 05:26:45 PM

A T or Y connector wont do, since the temp sensor wont be in the flued stream, according to vdo...any thought on where to put these sensors?

What's the application turbo?

There's a spare Bung on the front of oil filter.

Yes that's it just above and to the right of the arrow. Allen key required!

M10 thread from memory, but don't quote me.

Both the front hole (pictured above) and the port where the stock oil pressure switch is mounted are 12x1.5 thread. I ended up using the front port for my bro pressure sender and the rear port for my temp sender. Worked perfect for me!
