Aftermarket oil pressure gauge

Hi has anyone ever fitted an aftermarket oil pressure gauge

To run permanently? Is there a point on the block DW8 engine that could be used as a take off?

Was thinking do turbo version have oil pressure pipes. That's blanked off on the non turbo versions?

Thanks In advance

hmm i am not 100% with the DW8. i know you can get adaptors which go in where the original oil pressure sensor is. it just kinda T's off a smaller pipe which i think you could run up inside the dash to a gauge. i think ebay would be your friend in finding one. sadly i do not know what kind of thread it needs.

Re: Aftermarket oil pressure gauge

After posting I also found these on ebey just need to check what the thread is on factory pressure switch.

Also need to find out if I can splice into the temp gauge wires. With out causing any issues to run a separate one also as dash one is random at the best of times lol ?
