I know this is zero help, but i was looking at installing one and than I decided not to because it was a huge pain in the but. just go pay 50-100 bucks and get a shop to instal it. I think it's alot easier that way. Good Luck.

If you look in the How To: Section, I posted up a How To on relocating your Oil Pressure Sending unit which is the hard part of doing an Oil Pressure Gauge.

You don't want to T the sender unless you do it with Stainless Steel. I know the Pro Sport Oil Pressure Gauge sender is big and heavy and using copper fittings they will just snap off.

If you follow my instructions, you will relocate the sender up by your battery box (if you have a CAI or SRi).

If you try my way and you need help, PM me and I will give you my cell and we can discuss it.

Here is the link to the thred - http://www.msprotege.com/forum/showthread.php?t=123688232 I have been running this for almost a year now without issue.

If you do this you better pray that they do not T off using Copper. If they do you really take a chance on it snapping off. This has been reported to happen a LOT on this car due to the movement of the engine and how soft copper is.

I prefer to challenge myself and do things myself. That way I learn something new and if I do it right I feel really proud and if I fuck it up I have nobody to blame but myself. But that's me :)
