FP Oil Line + Oil Temp and Oil Pressure

I will soon be installing an FP oil line (which attaches to the oil filter housing). I already am using two of the ports for oil temperature and pressure. I don't believe there is a third plug (could be wrong), so what fitting should I use to allow me to use all three ? (I was thinking just a standard T, but not sure on the size or where to buy it ?? ) TIA

Oil pressure and temperature ??? pretty basic, but thanks for the bump lol...

Hopefully I can get some help from folks with similar setups.

That isn't that bad, I do that exact setup. You can't be too careful. FWIW, You can do a few things. One would be an oil filter sandwich adapter for a bung that you can put the pressure sensor on and then hook the feed line into the filter housing. You have to watch though, because I believe on those bungs that one is oil after the filter and the other is before, so you have to run the feed line coming after the oil has passed through the filter.

Another thing you can do is pick up a cheap set of MR gauges (the 3 pod) and sensors and install that, and it uses a oil drain plug with a sensor built in to monitor oil temp, then you put the pressure sensor as the oil before the filter, with the oil feed for the turbo after the filter. (That is how I have things set up, I kept my MR gauges for the temp, an AEM oil pressure on the before and the HTA Green on the after filter port)

I do think you can adapt a "T" or "Y" fitting to work, but I would be worrisome about things protruding underneath the car like that, one rock or debris jumps up and breaks that and you are stranded and could starve the motor of oil. I had the pressure sensor on mine break once from debris I believe, and it clean snapped in half. It just shut off one day and I was like WTF. I looked underneath and branch or something must have hit it and broke the sensor in half. I had to buy a new one from JEGS.

^^ Another good reason for a quality underpanel ....I think I will just ask Robert (from FP) and see if he can supply the Y or T.

I use a beatrush underpanel in the winter to prevent salt and grime from jumping up in, but I do so much work on it during the summer months and driving season that its just too big of a pain in the butt to take it off all of the time.

I looked up the DIY for " Oil pressure and sender" and saw how the guy used a tee fitting

Will this tee fitting be able to hold both senders? OP is only using one side of the tee fitting while the other is cap'd off.

What about putting a Tee on the oil pressure port on the back of the block where the stock oil pressure sensor is? (for the factory idiot light on mine anyway)....It will prevent it from being knocked off from road debris anyway, might not be AS sensitive as being closer to the oil pump as at the oil filter housing but would be safer anyway if your car is lowered and run over alot of stuff.
