generally the instructions come with the unit, and if you do a search on here, when i was working on mine, i had found a thread that talked about it. but in the end, if you go to autometer.com or google autometer electric oil pressure gauge, you should be able to find the main site with the instructions. hope that helps

right next to the block there is an engine oil pressure thing for the stock ecu...pull thatout and put it there then find a bunch of fittings at lowes or home depot in the air tools section...they work, use thread sealent. don't put the fittings in until you put hte oil feed line in.

I just used the T that came with my turbo. Just put the sending unit in place of the stock dummy light. Just disconected the dummy light and took it out. Works great that way.

I think i found the stock dummy sensor...is it near the top of the motor, on the drivers side, near the front of the car??

I feel so stupid for asking, but can someone give me a pic showing me where its at?

Thanks
