oil sandwich plate!
 

ive just recieved my 4 in 1 depo racing guage but completely forgot to order an oil sandwich plate.does anybody have any reccomendations for a good one.that im not going to get any trouble with?im not convinced the sandwich plate is the best route to go as on previous cars the sensors have been fitted straight in with out using one.any tips or ideas greatly appreciated,and its for a 08 hatch.cheers,ryan.

or will they screw directly into the car without the use of a sandwich plate?

Get yourself this.......

Oil temp sensor goes in above cylinder 3, there's a blanking plug there ready.
Oil pressure goes where the OE one is at the moment. The adaptor screws into where the OE pressure sensor is.

Ryan your hatch all mapped up now? I see it at Clive's a while back :)

hello mate,its sat on the driveway.snowed under with work mate so not had a chance to sort anything.orderd the boost guage a while back and thats it.hopefully ill get a slack weekend where i can make some more progress with it.

mattyb thanks for the reply.ive got a couple of senders in the box but not sure if they will bolt straight into the places you have mentiond with out the extra bits in the link you sent.
cheers,ryan.

You will need the bits in the link :thumb:

The oil pressure adapter allows you to retain your OE pressure light. It basically screws into where the OE sender is and then has two inputs for your new sender and your OE sender.

I wouldn't use a sandwich plate, the places I mentioned above are deemed to be more accurate.

Stick a pic up of what you got in the box

Yes, you'll need the bits in the link if you don't want to use the sandwich plate.

What's a "boots gauge" then?!

cheers mattyb,will get one sorted.

Boost gauge is for turbo bost

Sandwich plate.........aaaaarrrggghhh!

stuff that.orderd the adaptor kit from scooby parts

Sandwich plate is an sioc bodgers method.
The engine has the correct outlets for fitting so use them.
Also depending on how far you tune you may need a sandwich plate for an oil cooler anyway.

oil cooler? Aaaarrrggghhh!

Only kidding;)
