If it is the same as the WRX, remove alternator and fit into the low oil pressure switch tapping on the engine block. The sender should then have a second port to refit the low pressure switch.

Any questions and I'll mail you some more photos and a how to.

Hi there,

I have an autometer electronic oil pressure gauge and need some advice on fitting.

The gauge was easy, but I need info on where to instal the oil sender unit (looks like a bell housing).

Is there a 'tap' on the block to take this feed from ?
Will the autometer housing fit straight on, or will I need some sort of adaptors?

I'm not going to be doing this myself, I'll be taking it to my garage, but I'd like to be armed with some fitting info for them.

Thanks.

I had a dual sender unit fitted - one sends the signal to the ECU, other goes to the gauge. Otherwise do a search, I'm sure you'll get plenty of info that way.
