Ok, so I'm installing a boost gauge and an oil pressure gauge. When I purchased them, I bought both of them Mechanical (didn't even think about it, just ordered them) When I got them, I started thinking about installation, and the following occurs to me. For a mechanical oil pressure gauge, would I have to bring an actual oil line to the gauge? (I'm thinking yes...)
My guess is I should have purchased an electrical gauge and run a wire to the oil pressure sensor near the oil filter. Anyone have any input on what I'd have to do to get my mech. gauge to work? Has anyone added an oil pressure gauge (doesn't seem like many if ANY have after doing a search)

any input appreciated

Yes, your mechanical gauge will require that you run a plastic line from the engine to your gauge. You will find that an Electrical Oil pressure gauge is a bit easier...hard part is finding a place on the block that is tapped into the oil galley and you can get proper threaded sending unit to mount there.
