Okay, I plan on running an oil cooler with my turbo setup...I bought an oil sandwich with two ports on it, I plan on leaving the stock oil pressure sensor disconnected and plugging in my oil pressure gauge's sensor into that port, now I have the two ports on the sandwich for the input/output to and from the oil cooler....my question is, should I put the "T" that has the oil inlet line for the turbo on it pre-cooler (the line that goes to the oil cooler) or post cooler (the line that comes out of the oil cooler and back to the sandwich) OR should I put the gauge's sender unit on this "T" and use the stock oil pressure sensor port for the turbo oil line inlet....really looking for some help here as I'm kind of stumped, thanks!

take the oil for the turbo from where the stock oil pressure sensor was

does it matter whether it's from the sandwich or the adapter? I was going to use the sandwich for it.

I think you could use the T but make sure it's a stainless steel one. I've been reading about how some people's T's are snapping because it's brass

If I do that, can I still use a T on the return from the oil cooler to attach my oil pressure gauge to?

That's why I got the sandwich....my real concerns were:
a) having enough oil getting to the turbo
and
b)getting an accurate oil pressure reading from the oil pressure sender unit

so is it okay to T the oil inlet/outlet for the oil cooler and put the oil pressure sender there? or would I not get an accurate reading?
