    Mick / Mike,

    Leave the OE sender in place you don't need to remove it what you need is a T piece to fit on top of your turbo core feed adaptor like the pic of my old C1J, did you contact http://www.thinkauto.com/ you need to know the thread of your braided oil feed and then you just need a male to female T piece with a 1/8 npt which is common adaptor for gauge matey.

    Is your oil feed line a hosesolutions jobbie??

    Anyone got a picture of a phase 2 banjo set up - mine has been modded and has a extra bit on the bottom for oil gauge but i want to do like in the picture above so need to see how the standard bit is down low.

    if the bottom bit has extra take off and its electrical you can leave it there if its a mechanical you need probably a 1/8 npt male block off and then you need to find out the thread size above turbo mines a 4an connection but check yours first mate then you need a male/female with a 1/8npt off to fit another adapter for the line but thats only if ya want a mechanical mate otherwise a electric will fit straight in the 1/8 npt threaded hole hope this helps mick
