Default Oil Pressure Gauge Install Question..

I just bought a Glowshift oil pressure gauge,it came with a oil pressure sensor attachment,and it says its a 1/8 -20 thread size. I'm wondering
if I could use this sensor \ where the stock sensor was? Would I need any other attachments? I have a N/A tC, and all I want to do is monitor my pressure.

Has anyone have bad experience with the Glowshift Oil Pressure Sensor, if not did it screw on to the engine block?

or you could go to the local auto parts store and get a "street tee"...like $5 at most...it'll screw in where the the stock sensor is and get u 2 ports...1 for stock sensor and one for the new oil psi sensor...i had an oil filter adapter before i did this and it leaked...not horribly but it still did a bit...

^^^save yourself the money and do it like this plus less leakage headaches

^x(however many now) get the t. i had a 3 T, so not technically a T any more, but i had it going to my oil feed, stock dummy sensor and oil pressure sensor. no leaks, but then i got a new oil pressure sensor and it wouldn't fit. so i got a prosport sand. adapt. and i went through about 4 quarts of oil leaking in close to 2 months. i now have a greddy adapt. i'm installing today though ^^

Long story short. Go with the T.
