Default Oil Pressure Gauge Sending Unit - where?

I asked a similar question in under the hood, but no response yet... I was originally going to replace the oe oil pressure switch with a aem sensor, but after reading some other posts think I will keep the switch so I can still have the light...soooooooo, where is the best place to hook up the aem oil sensor for the gauge? Thanks!

Ditch the OEM sensor and put the AEM sensor in its place. Only thing the OEM sensor does is let you know your engine is already f@#ked.

You could use a T to connect both the AEM and the stock sender to the stock location. The only thing I'd be a little worried about is finding some way to help support the weight of the extra AEM sender. You could make a bracket to help support it.

My AEM oil pressure and stock sensor are remotely mounted below one of the stock air box brackets (passenger side).

Right, but I think I would see that before the gauge...since it is not mounted right in front of me.

That is what I was thinking, but there is more plumbing that I thought.

My CTSC is in the way of that mounting location... how did you use both?

Again, no room due to supercharger...how did you plumb it?

I used a steel T and SS line. You can mount it wherever you want.
