I am hoping there is a Black Friday deal at Speedhut so I can get the gauges ordered for the pod I bought from Crazy Paul. I am going to place an A/F, boost, and oil pressure gauge in it. I am not sure which direction I want to go with the oil pressure gauge. I can get a CANBUS gauge that does not require a separate sensor. The disadvantage of this is that, according to Speedhut, the gauge will not work if I have something plugged into my OBDII port like my Hptuners. The other option is an external sensor gauge. I would need to get the oil pressure tower that Crazy Paul came up with to run both sensors, the external and stock.

Those of you that have added an oil pressure gauge, which way did you go?

Will the oil pressure tower work with a Maggie, is there clearance?

Well, Speedhut has a 25% Black Friday sale going on. I went with the CANBUS oil pressure gauge.

Good deals here.

Very interested will the tower extension oil pressure gauge work from CP with a maggie? Has anyone done that as opposed to the canbus option?

I was going to tap into the CANBUS wires directly rather than take up the port. Speedhut says even then the gauge won't work if something else is plugged in.
