    What oil gauge are you fitting? Temp? Is it electrical?

    Where the turbo oil feed leaves the block there is a one way valve on the end of the solid pipe and before the flexi. You need to break the oil feed on that thread and add your T peice in there, leave everything else alone. Plumb in your gauge to the t peice. Et voila. If you dot have a t peice for your gauge call www.thinkautomotive
