Ok for oil temp and/or oil pressure you can fit a T intersection where the oil line runs to your turbo (thats the braided line that you tidied up the other day. For water i would say a T intersection where your heater hoses are but you dont have any so the hose that use to go nto your heater but now is bypassed just put connector in there

Sandwich plates are the goods

They are available for the FTO too, we did a group buy on them a while back.

For water temp, I'd just splce into the exiting gauge line (as per this pic thats currently in another thread)

The blue arrow is the existing water temp gauge sensor, just splice into that.

Go with the sandwich plate much easier and easy to remove at any time

Ben: do you mean splice into the signal wire? I was just worried about different guages having different signals...

and where can i get sandwich plates from?

Justjap have them, along with a multitude of other places RPW i think. I need to 1 as well. Sorry to steal your thread but where does everyone think i should tap into my water line for connection to the turbo

For oil temp just get a sump plug which accepts the sender from your gauge. I got one from demon Tweeks in the UK but I imagine some other shop in Oz is bound to have the same thing.

M14 like this one http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/products/ ... =GLOFSPM14 should do the trick.
