I guess if you have some new spot where you get oil off the head to lubricate your turbo... honestly that's like the last place I would source personally

Ya that runner would toast that sucker pretty quick.. why not just remove the factory oil press sensor(dummy light) and use that? Its what I used with zero issues and light for low oil doesn't come on.

hey guys.. i need to put my oem bolt back cause the sensor that i have right now has been leaking.. question is, do you guys know if the 3/8" bolt has to be bspt or does 3/8" bolt would work as long as it'll fit nice and snug?

A question..
I got the prosport oil pressure and temperature gauges.
What fittings exactly do I need in order to be able to connect both gauges?
I keep hearing that the evo is 3/8" but something about british units and what not.
Does anyone know exactly whats needed so I can go to ACE HARDWARE to get that stuff?
The oil pressure sender and temperature sender has a thread size of 1/8" NPT.
Thanks a lot
Best Regards

..finally got some pics
here is the place where I moved a factory oil pressure sender:
aftermarket sender installed in place of the factory one:
I had one additional pressure sensor with gauge laying around, so decided to hook it up to the head (note I have SAS disabled, it's valve, tubing and the mounting plate removed):
balance shafts are removed, bearings rotated and oil pressure reduced with an additional washer over the pressure regulating valve.
Oil: motul 300V 15w50
Pressure at idle (engine at operating temperature) -
Block: 1.9-2.0 bar (27-29 psi)
Head: 1.3-1.4 bar (19-20 psi)

Does anyone know what size fitting I need to pull the oil pressure from the head? I have a oil pressure exten line I ordered from lancershop but I have not gotten my oil in the mail so Im not sure if it will work.....

Bumping this because of some broken links.
I currently have an AEM Oil Pressure sensor, with the AMS relocation line, installed into the plug by the oil filter. I plan on getting an AEM Oil Temp gauge as well. Does anyone have a working link to the tee that would fit into the AMS line that would allow me to use both the OP and OT sensors?
Thanks in advance, gentlemen!

Ahh! Thank you for the response. It seems that I misread the original post. The OP mentions that he had a tee left over, which is why it is used. I guess I skimmed over that part initially, and when I went looking for the tee to buy, I was unable to locate it. Fail reading skills on my part.
Thank you though!

this question goes out the guys here that have used the ams remote oil pressure sender line, what i would like to know it will this bolt straight up to the oil filter housing or will i need to get a 3/8 BSPT adaptor for it?

Just doing mine tonight it bolts right in and there is a second plug on the oil filter housing so no need to use a T, for the temp sensor. The temp sensors weight next to nothing and have no overhang unlike the pressure sensors which could snap over time.
