Ok, I give up - I have looked high and low for a thread I have seen that shows using one of the unused ports next to the turbo oil connection for an oil sender. Can somebody shoot me the link?

Thanks

Thanks.

FYI McMaster-Carr has an M14-1/4NPT adapter for about $7.

I see that (PN 4936K155). It probably will work but may require a bit of grinding as geordi and I found clearance in there is really tight. Shaving a bit off the head with a disc sander/cutoff blade to turn the 0.75"/19mm hex head into the next size down made things a lot easier on my install. For what it's worth McMaster-Carr has as stainless steel thick wall 1.5" nipple PN 46755K22 and a stainless steel elbow PN 46755K22 for about $5@ if the use of brass plumbing hardware worries you.

I was looking at those ports more for a bypass cooler. I would probably go with a 14mm banjo I found.
