Pirana, got some questions

[duMb KeoLa]

sup man,

im diggin your mods on your car and i just wanted to know a couple things. first, how did you put in your oil pressure gauge? i bought an autometer gauge and the instructions are pretty bad. a friend told me that i need to tap and dye the engine block but i dont wanna just do that without knowing if theres another way. also, how did you put on the carbon fiber e-brake lever? looks pretty tight! thanks for your help

Thanks! The easy question is the e-brake. Remove the center console trim panels, they just pull up. Then got to do the "nasty" and cut the handle cover with a sharp razor blade; then just pull it out. Slide the leather boot in. You need the MOMO e-brake button adapter, which is a little piece of rubber that fills the gap between the chrome push button of the ebrake and the whole in the ebrake. Next slide the ebrake and tighten the 3 little hex screws. Then slide the boot over the chrome ring. Its not hard at all.

The oil pressure, is a different story. I never hooked it up. I got the gauge and did a temporary install for the shows and now I had to put my P5 for sale so I removed the stereo and the gauges, therefore never even looked at the installation. But sometimes you can remove the factory oil pressure sender and (may need a thread adapter) and put the Autometer sender. Your oil pressure light in the dash wont work anymore, but the other one will.

Hopefully some of this might help you.

or if you wanted both to work, and not going turbo, then im sure you can possibly use a T kinda like for the turbo feed line, out of the sending unit hole.
