Going over the kit instructions it looks like the stock oil pressure sensor gets relocated to the brass tee fitting during the install. The tee fitting has NPT threads, however the stock pressure sensor has BSP threads like the head does. The two adapters that come with the tee fitting address the threading for the engine head and also the oil feed line but not for the stock oil pressure sensor. Unless I am missing something, it's not really a good idea to screw BSP threads into NPT threads even though they are pretty close, they can still strip or leak fairly easy. Has anyone had any issues with this yet? (And I apologize in advance if I completely missed something here and this is a non-issue.)

How low does the turbo sit? Just wondering if the oil pump is completely neccesary... Obviously you believe its an advantage and you recommend using it, but would it work without it? I just would rather have one less possible point of failure if at all possible. It's really the only thing I don't absolutely love about this kit...
