Oil Feed+Oil Press sensor+ AM oil sensor
For the guys with aftermarket oil pressure gauges how did you get oil to the turbo and still have oil go to the sensors. can this be done without using a sandwich adapter

I used "T's". One T off the engine. From that, I have the oil feed going to the blower and a flex hose going to another T. Off that, I have both my stock sender and my aftermarket gauge sender.
If you are only using the stock sender, you only need one T and you can mount the stock sender directly onto the T (no flex hose necessary).
The superchargers kits come with these T's. I guess turbo guys have to buy their own.

I don't have turbo, but I ran a single braided ss line from the block to a 4-way tee on the frame rail. From there I fed the sc, auto meter oil pres sensor, and stock sensor.
What ever you do, don't tee directly off the block.

The threads in the block and the threads on the stock sensor are 1/8"bsp and your aftermarket sensor is more than likely 1/8"npt. tunertoys.com sells bsp to npt adapter. The adapter that they sell screws into the block and then has 2 or 3 npt holes and 1 bsp hole. I would put it into the block, put your stock sensor right on the adapter, plug two of the three npt holes, run a npt braided line to a T for your aftermarket sensor, mount it somewhere on the frame between the adapter and your turbo keeping in mind that the engine rocks, than you have to get another braided line to go from the npt T to 3an or whatever your turbo oil feed is. That is just what I would do, I am sure some one will tell me I am wrong or have a better way.

I'll try to find a pic of my set up for you.
