Default Oil pressure switch?

Where abouts is it? I want to fit an oil pressure gauge. Ive got the t-piece adaptor, can someone confirm-do I unscrew the turbo oil feed pipe (next to the oil filter) and fit the t-piece there????

Also, where is the best place to wire up a volt gauge? The ford racing gauge I've got, the wires are really thick! Do I run seperate wire from the battery straight to the gauge???

Would really appreciate any help

HI mate, i just fitted my oil pressure gauge. I had a sendor where you could connect your gauge and your oil pressure swith wire on. I took out the old oil pressure sensor and then screwed in my new sender into there. Youll find it just above the oil feed to the turbo. Then just connect up the wires. I ran my wire to the gauge throught the bulkhead where the speedo comes through. Hope this helps.

Neil
