Hi

Can anyone recommend a decent 52mm oil pressure gauge and sender package please? Looking on e bay and it's a minefield.

I have the tapping points ready on my current ally oil filter/oil cooler block.

I Don't want to break the bank.

Thanks all.

Adam

I went for mechanical gauges
Smiths water temp , and oil pressure
Got them from jjc race and rally (www. Or eBay)
Come with all fittings but u need to make up a
T piece for your water hose
Went mechanical gauges as they are always active
Will post a pic later ;)

Ive gone for a mocal dual 52mm mechanical oil temp / pressure gauge. Just need to workout where to fix the senders. Im figuring i`ll tap the oil pressure into either my aftermarket oil cooler sandwich plate or in the turbo oil feed pipe (so i`ll either be seeing engine oil pressure or turbo oil pressure). But im not sure where to put the oil temp sender. It seems quite a big probe on it..... anyone got any ideas.

I tapped into turbo top feed hose
So as u say turbo pressure

Could u not T - off the block to a braided pipe then
From the end of that to the sender?

I've put mine into the sump next to the turbo oil return pipe, I think it used to be an oil level sender.

There's an oil gallery on the block near the alternator bracket.
I took the blanking plug to Pirtek with my braided line and got fitting.

Was a tenner for the fitting!!!! but easy peasy.
