I worded that wrong, I WOULD tap into (tee into) the OEM switch or the block for an accurate reading.

Good luck reaching that stock one... From what I've read it's under the #1 intake runner, which means it's low on the back of the block. I tapped mine down by the filter and I read about 110psi or so at WOT, and about 18 or so at idle. I'm pretty sure it'll get gunked up (my oil filter is brown by the time it needs changing) but the wires have loom on them. If it gets too bad I'll just cover the sensor up with something.

i also thought that some gauges are a little bit more "hands on" right? so it would be alot harder to install for a normal person like myself? damn i really want to have these installed but the a very reputable tuner shop here on the eastcoast told me either 500 or 600 for the install and it would take allllllllll day. damn! i don't have all day, and no i can't take off [i run my own busness]. What can i do guys?

link please? this will cut the installation time to a little less correct?
