I just got finished hooking up my oil temp and oil pressure gauges. I hooke them up to a tee right off of the stock oil pressure sending unit. I am getting some funky readings, I think? The oil temp guage wont move from 100 degrees. The oil pressure is sitting at about 25-40 psi, (it varies so far from time to time) When I just rev the engine up, it moves almost like a boost gauge. I don't know if that is the way ot os supposed too? I thought it would be slower like the stock oil pressure gauge.

Let me know what you think,

If the oil temperature gauge is measured in celsius it wont move alot above 100* unless you are really giving the car some hell, as far as the pressure gauge goes, the one i used to run moved at about the same speed as the stock one, so im guessing that varies by brand.
