If you don't mid losing the stock oil pressure gauge, you can simply unscrew the stock sender and replace it with the glowshift unit (this is what I did). Or, you could get a T and plug both the stock unit and the glowshift. The stock oil pressure sending unit is on the oil filter housing.....

Yep easy as that, thats how mine works.

I'd suggest getting some SS line and remote mounting the sender. Mine shook to failure in a few thousand miles. No balance shafts may have contributed to that.

Do you have a link to some stainless line that works with the sender unit? I think I might want to do this...

I don't have a link, but it's just a 1/8" NPT fitting on each end. One male, one female. Then just as long as a piece of hose as you need.

^^^ That's exactly how you want to do it. I would strongly recommend keeping both pressure sensors - it never hurts to have a backup in case one fails.

For the record, there are about 2 extra ports on the 2g OFH. Tap into one of them. As for a remote oil pressure sender, Jay Racing has what you need.

This is what I'm running and how I ran the sender. Works perfect.
