I know it's on the block above the oil filter, and i saw there is a nut that you could remove using an allen wrench key. Is that it? Someone please show me a pic.

Default What about on a 1.8T?...

On mine, there is an oil line from the oil cooler going into the turbo. Think I should tap into that line? I think that's what I am going to tru now.

Default NO! There is an easy to get at fitting on the driver's side of the motor!

Look at the oil filter adapter on the motor. There is a sensor with a single wire hooked up there. It has a 10x1mm thread. Unscrew it and screw in a VDO T-fitting (part number on Rob's Page) and hook the sensor back to one leg of the t fitting, and the oil pressure sender to the other leg. If you have a VDO sender, it should be 10x1mm metric already. If you use Autometer, it'll be 1/8" NPT, which is tapered pipe thread. It will start to thread in to the 10x1mm opening, buut if you leave it it will leak badly, so get a 10x1mm to 1/8" NPT adapter or rethread the sender with a 10x1 mm tap.

Don't mess with the oil line to the turbo!
