Hey guys, does the oil pressure in the 1.8t ever go above 80psi?

100 psi under WOT and high rpms.

Damn I got the wrong one then. I'll need to get the 150psi one.

I've "heard" start-up is at least 80 psi.

That's with the motor sitting on the stand, but there is plenty of room with the motor sitting in the car. IIRC, I tapped into the oil pressure switch, and the other sensor is the oil temp.

John where did you get the T that has the thread size for the stock sender?

Start up is a little lower then that, then it climbs to about 80 under normal driving.

It's either 1/8" or 1/4", don't remember. The T fitting has 3 female ends, as does the oil housing. Then I used a female-to-female adapter (looks like a small pipe with threads on the outside) to join the two

I can't give you any part numbers or anything, my dad has a whole drawer full of misc. NPT fittings. You should be able to get all the stuff from Home Depot or the like.

I have the adaptors that go to the T and into the oil cooler but not one to hold the stock sensor to the 1/8 T fitting.
