Hey guys have been looking around a little bit to find the best way to get the sensors installed on the BA and seemed to se that some people where finding it a little less then satisfactory with the leaking sandwich plates. I saw and idea that I would mind following where they added a T piece onto the oil screen for the turbo to allow another sensor to being added. The problem is that I am looking to get oil temp, oil pressure and air fuel (boost is already mounted on the A pillar when the car was brought). This would mean I would need to get 2 of these for the extra 2 spots. Was wondering if there was one fitting that would do this and not make it stupidly long and possibly damaging. I will be going to a few hydraulic places on the weekend to ask them and see what fittings could be utilized. But you guys have done this before and know how to do it so advice is appreciated. :spoton:

BTW the fitting with sparked this all up is HERE

Sorry if its not clear. Just asking if you guys think that a 3 way joiner would be good rather then a sandwich plate or 2 T fittings

The T-piece is tricky because of the lack of space down there, once you put a sender unit on one side, the the oil pressure switch on the other side you will have to make sure that the thread is in the right spot. They will only fit if they point front to back as the oil supply line comes out of the block just above the engine mount.
