I just got a FF oil filter housing. It seams to only have one port in it. How are you guys plumbing your stock sensors and turbo feed lines when you use these?

Well I got this to work just fine. It seams that with the FF housing the oil pressure went down alot? Just looking at the stock gauge. I havent hooked up a real gauge but the stock gauge does show quit a bit less oil pressure. Is this normal with this housing? My oil pump is brand new I dont think I have a problem but without the dummy light I worry a little.
mine got lowered as well, actually a good thing because i eliminated the balance shafts.
That's good work keltalon (finding out the reason for the low oil pressure). The community owes you a thank you.Reason there is a difference in the oil pressure in these 2 housing

How is your pressure at WOT? Where does your guage sit?
I wouldn't trust it because that little hole bleeds oil all the time. I would get a regular ofh and port the relief hole if you are seeing high oil pressure from a bse that way the larger diameter relief hole would allow you to relieve pressure in the upper rpm range.So what if you have abnormally high oil pressure because of a bse and you just install a ff ofh? Will that little hole keep the pressure in check? Does the mighty max have bse from the factory?
I recently installed my completely unmodified (unported, little piss hole there) FFOFH on my 6 bolt (BSE, still has oil sqirters).
Cold start up pressure via my Autometer Mechanical oil pressure gauge ~40-55psi (depending on how warm it is on initial startup)
Full temperature @ 850rpm idle 8-10psi
Full temperature at redline (7500rpm) 75psi.
Perfect.
My stock gauge barely registered ANY PRESSURE AT ALL (maybe 1/4 up the gauge on cold start, at minimum full temp idle) because the pressure port for the gauge is AFTER the filter on the FFOFH, and BEFORE the filter on the stock housing. You are seeing pressure drop across the filter.
