You need electrical sender (mech gauge would mean capillary oil pipe into interior & not a clever idea with 6bar oil) fitted onto the block. I was intending of using a spare port on the block above no3. cylinder but my sender was too big so ended up fitting it to the OE sensor location above the oil pump. I am currently looking for an uprated oil pressure sensor so I can put this into the no.3 port.

3-4 bar idle is about right (well it is on my car) and 6 bar when on power.
