oil pressure sender unit/sensor wont fit!

So after about 3 long days I finally got all my gauges hooked up... with the exception of the oil pressure. I have DEPO gauges and an AEM wideband. Everythings working fine (boost is reading 20 psi though and I know I'm not at 20 psi because the car is on factory tune...) anyway...
Anybody know if there is a better sensor I can use?

I tried the lower and upper bolts for the sensor, and even used an angle adaptor. Nothing fits, this damn sensor is so big!

What sensor are you talking about? And yea you could be on the factory tune however that doesn't mean the boost still isnt hitting 20psi. What are you using to control boost?

It is a DEPO oil pressure sensor

and I'm not using anything to control boost, the car still has the stock solenoid

Stock boost will peak at 19-20 psi and should start to taper down as you near redline. Sounds normal to me

Cool.

Make sure when you attach the line to the oil filter housing / oil pressure sensor to use thread sealer: http://www.permatex.com/products/Aut...ad_Sealant.htm

This will ensure you don't have any leaks.
