Default Prosport evo oil pressure setup

I've managed to fit all my other gauges along with the oil temp above cylinder 3,

My prosport pressure sensor is 1/8npt this should fit about below the alternator?
And with the old sensor do I just simple disconnect it and cable tie it up out the way?

Thanks

You have options there, but they become limited if the new sender won't physically fit in the available space.

Your options are:

If the new sender will physically fit the space, fit it there, remove old switch, tape up wire and put switch away safe.

If it won't fit, use one of these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/IMPREZA-WR...item2333522065 (that's the cheapest I could find, others are available).

The smaller end screws in where the OP switch was, the sender goes in the larger end and the switch itself can go where the brass bung is, if you want both.

Option three is as above, even if the sender physically fits the space, so you can have the OP switch too.

HTH.

Thanks mate,

I've been told the prosport one (Evo series) is same size as the defi one, but that's not 100% till I actually try it.

So If the sensor actually fits I can just simply remove the old sensor and just tape and cable tie the wire up out of the way?

And I won't get any eml lights Ect?

apologies for the thread hijack, could somebody tell me what sized allen key I need for the oil temperature bolt?

I need to go out and buy some keys but not sure of size.

That's correct, yes.
