How do you make that T what size fittings?

I have two ams remote lines also I was gonna run them both away to keep down on vibration also and feed the turbo from the port after the oil is filtered.

Basically two ports, but 3 duties are needed.


Love the car very clean

I honestly cant remember, but maybe 3/8" BSPT? Search around on here for the gauage install thread and I think it has the size of the factory ports in the oil housing listed. I searched for the parts on Jegs I think. It's just a blue T that has all female threads and one nipple that went from the T to the port size

And I personally wouldnt mount the temp sensor remotely because it's going to take a long time for the temperature to travel up the line... I would want it in a place that has oil flowing through it

I'm weird though, below 60℉ I'm freezing my nuts off, but 90+ I'm happy. I can take heat over cold any day of the year, but maybe because I was raised in Texas. I'm sure glad I'm not up in these -30℉ temps in the Midwest. I spent a year and a half in KC and that was cold enough for me

When I lived in Dallas, I hardly ever used my A/c. Just rolled the windows down.

Makes sense thanks but I'm confused.

If you are feeding your turbo with one port. The other port is directly measuring temp?

Basically what two functions are using the T?

Oil pressure (AMS remote line from the T up to the shock tower) and oil temp (in the other end of the T). The oil line for the turbo is uninterrupted

Gotcha! I see so you did what I was gonna do except you didn't use a remote line for temp it's directly off the T, meaning that it's much closer to the oil flow so the temps are more accurate.

So what does the "T" screw into on the housing? A fitting that came with the AMS extension?

No the T screws directly into the housing and the AMS extension screws into the T.

The only problem is we would all like him to spoon feed us the EXACT size and threads of the T and whatever adapters he's using and he hasn't done that yet! Lol please helppp
