Have suspected my oil pressure guage of being faulty for some time and got around to tee'ing in an after market guage ive had lying around, which will confirm my suspicions hopefully.

Anyone have any info on prices for senders and dash guages or should I forget about it and mount a good aftermarket one properly. As I will hopefully be doing the turbo thing soon I wanted to get this oil pressure thing sorted. I could probablly mount Oil Pressure, EGT and Boost in a pod if need be.

i would just buy an aftermarket guage and sender as i have replaced my factory sender twice, only for it to fail again. I think i paid $60 for an aftermarket guage and sender which is cheap compared to the price of the factory senderx 2 or 3

yea bout 60 buck for a half decent one just one thing i would suggest is to use a capilary type guage they are more acurate if thats what your worried about an also less trouble (providing its fitted correctly)

not specifically that worried about accuracy but my oe guage reads just above 0 sometimes then just over 2 others so I wanted to find out what was actualy going on.
