so i was doing an oil change and while i was at it i took off my pressure sender from below the turbo, ran a stainless braided line up to where my k&n intake will sit, connected the line to a little air manifold i found a princess auto (love that store), put in a master oil pressure gauge in the mani, and put my sender in some methanol for an hour, then screwed it in. my oil pressure gauge now reads how its supposed to, except at idle it reads 20 psi since it has to travel up the line and into the mani. 30 psi at 1000 rpm though. anyway will be mounting the mani on the k&n heat sheild that come with the intake, no more having to deal with the sensor under the turbo, fricken heat shealding on the wires was like charcoal, just crumbled off, mind u i halfassed it, it wasnt true heat sheiding.

anyway thats my story, now to take off the valve cover and find my tick. oh ya, dont put to much pressure on that big coolent line under the turbo, same thing happened as last time, must have pushed it enough to unseal the oring for a second and got a face full of coolent, checked it after with engine running, no leaks so its ok. think thay just stick it in the coolent pump with an oring held there by pressure.

 

now time for some home made beer
