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. BTW the fitting with sparked this all up is HERE Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/53792-ba-tripod-gauges/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just asking if you guys think that a 3 way joiner would be good rather then a sandwich plate or 2 T fittings Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/53792-ba-tripod-gauges/#findComment-809029 Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
