Its been so long since I took all this apart I do not remember what went here. Looking at pictures all I see is the oil idiot light sensor going here, but cannot find the part anywhere.

Well it has the stock oil pressure sender and and after market oil pressure sender and gauge so I do not think I need the idiot light one.

If that is what goes here what size plug will fit in it, or will the pressure gauge fit in it?
The brass part above the turbo oil feed is what I'm talking about.
I read 16x1.5mm, but that was on 1g housings with people making external oil coolers.

Hmm looking at it know I bet the sensor is broken off, wonder how I am going to get that out now...


This and the fuel pump are I believe the last things before the car will start, its been a journey.

The threads for the warning light sensor are 1/8" BSPT. It does appear that something is in that port; no telling what it is nor how much fun you'll have getting it out.

The M16 x 1.5 holes refer to the inlet and outlet ports to the oil cooler on a 1990 or Evo III housing.
 
I tried to get it with vise scripts but ofc that did not work just broke it off. Ended up having to take the housing off, drill it out and retap the threads for 1/8 npt, cleaned it out good, put some "right stuff" gasket maker on the threads for safety and plugged it up.

what a pita.
