I finally moved my wideband gauge to the useless cubby hole and added a oil temp gauge. I still need to fiberglass it into place but for now this will work. So i am running a total of 6 gauges. Wideband, Exhaust temp, fuel pressure, boost/vacuum, oil temp and an aeroforce. The aeroforce is mounted in the airbag cubby hole. I also have led lights for when the meth triggers, 2nd fuel pump triggers and low meth. Someday i will swap out the innovate gauge for an autometer so they all match.

Next up is the temp turbo feed/oil temp adapter. I want to see what the oil temp is prior to installing the cooler.

This is the new oil cooler adapter. It has spots for the sensor, which is pre-cooler and a turbo feed spot that is post cooler.

I'm interested to see what the oil temp is getting to without the cooler. That looks like a pretty nice cooler btw. Are you running -6 to the cooler?

It is -10

similar kits for CTSVs, corvettes and new camaro come with a -10.... I am curious to see what it does with the oil pressure... If it drops it any, i will just swap in the high pressure spring into my HV melling oil pump. I
