Definite Answer Needed !!! Oil Pressure Gauge
Wednesday, June 14, 2006 9:36 PM
Okay,

I have a mech. oil pressure guage, the lines are run and it is installed..... it's time to tap in somewhere.

I have a 2001 2200 turbo,

My question is,

Can I tap the feed line right before the turbo with a "t" fitting??

or will this create any oil pressure problems.... or incorrect readings.....

I was going to put the "T" fitting before the 90 degree fitting going to the turbo.... notice where I mean in this picture



Let me know....

Thanks

Why not just tee off the block? Where the low oil light is? It is closer to the firewall. So less line to run and it is on the backside of the block so you could run it without it being too noticeable..

^^ Exactly, I attached mine to the back of the block where the stock oil pressure sensor is.

I know thats where it can go, but I was wondering if it would affect anything if I put in right before the turbo ....

considering the heat off the turbo , i wouldnt put the line at the turbo unless your running a braided line inside


id just tap off the block where the stock is

Can someone post a picture of the plug you guys used in the block just to be sure?

There are 2 cap screws right above the oil filter (if your turbo is oil cooled, you probably have the lines run there). Use a 1/4" ratchet (no socket) and unscrew it. You will need a 1/4" NPT adapter.

edit: Here's a pic of the location... clicky for full size
