Ive just fitted Defi's (turbo, oil temp/pressure) on my JDM sti 2004- I brought an adaptor for oil pressure- this replaces the standard oil pressure sensor on the car and allows both the standard and Defi pressure sensors to be be inserted. In hindsight, I could've saved myself £35 for this part as the Defi oil pressure sensor just replaces the standard sensor (this only warns you when oil pressure reaches 1 bar- Defi gauge will give you much better info than this!!!)
Oil temp- there's a blanking nut next to cylinder 3 (about 8 inches back from the alternator)- i removed intercooler and alternator to get to these parts. You'll need an oil temp adaptor for this one- M18*1.5 (M) to 1/8 NPT (F)- this can be purchased from Home Tel: 01234 268213 for £5.99 part no. LMA067. Hope this helps??
NB- remember to use ptfe tape on threads- don't want any leaks!!!!!
Are you mounting the gauges in a triple dash pod?? I can recommend it- looks quality!!!!!!!!!
