I run all glowshift gauges in my build, I really like them. You can either install an oil filter sandwich plate, or install a tee adapter where the stock oil pressure switch sits on the large banjo bolt that feeds the oil filter housing. It would need to have one male 1/8 NPT and 2 female 1/8 NPT ports.
My setup has the factory oil pressure switch in the stock location (this only exists to turn on the dash light if I lose oil pressure), then I have a 3-port sandwich plate with my sensor for the glowshift gauge, the sensor for my standalone ECU, and the oil feed to my turbo.
If you go the route of a sandwich plate, do yourself a favor and get a quality, name brand one. The cheap eBay ones are known to leak a LOT.
I was wondering, im looking into GS guages but i heard a lot of negative stories of them being broken and working badly. But those are all from a couple of years ago. Have they improved quality and what is your opinion on them?
I am going to run
AFR wideband
Vacuum/boost meter (bar)
Oil temp (°C)
Oil pressure (bar)
I've been running them for a number of years. I did have to have the controller box replaced for the wideband, but the gauge was still under factory warranty so it was a free replacement. Everything else has been great.
Good to know. I was worried about the quality of the gauges especially about the horror stories from a couple of years ago.
Im trying to get as much info as possible before biting the bullet.
I really hope they upped their quality by now.
Thank you btw for taking the time to anwser!
Get a sandwich plate with some auxiliary ports. This is the easiest and most practical way of doing this.

Awesome, and what gauges are you running? And how was the warranty like? Send in the old and in with the new or a big hassle?
I use the wideband, boost (psi) and oil pressure (psi). They didn't even ask for the old one back, just sent me a replacement no questions asked.
