oil filter sandwich adapter?
Anyone suggest a good oil filter sandwich adapter? I have the BLOX and it's leaking where the gauge sensors thread into the adapter, any other suggestions?

I wouldn't run anything that puts the oil filter closer to the road.

I used to have a sandwich plate...damn thing was a POS and leaked. From my research they always do, it's not if, it's when. I run what MR suggested and have it ziptied on the firewall up behind the intake manifold off one of the existing plugged holes in the housing and no issues at all since I swapped to that.

I use a blox adapter and have for quite some time now. It's never leaked. As for being closer to the ground; it's still a good inch from surpassing the oilpan. Nothing to worry about there.

There are two bolts that can supply high pressure oil to turbos that are located on the oil filter housing. If you are not using those for your turbo just take one out and tap and dye it out to match the thread for your sensor, and install it. If you are using it for your turbo, I found a splitter you can install there to have two feeds. Since the pressure solenoid is not taking anything away from the actual flow of the source it should be just fine to run it there along with the turbo.
I just hated to think of something hitting the oil filter, or it starting to leak and I would have no knowledge. This way is secure, and you have the actual pressure inside the housing and/or supplying the turbo.
