Very good idvice, if a leak appeared the ECU would see less boost and run more advance potentially causing det and destroying your engine.

Agreed, sandwich plate for an accurate reading of the temp of the oil in the engine not whats sitting in the sump.
Also yes unless it's a wideband you just have a pretty gauge that tells you nothing in reality lol
