Installing oil pressure gauge - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

So I am installing an autometer oil pressure gauge on my 5S right now and I want to just put a tee on the oil pressure sender and tie both units into the same location. But then later when I need to tap for the turbo oil feed do I just add on another tee to the side of the first to make three outlets, two for sensors and one to feed the turbo oil? Should I look for a 3 sided tee? What do you guys think?

Uhh... T's are 3 sided.

You would need a X adapter (4 sides) or 2 T's joined together.

Is the oil sender hole too small for turbo oil? Will it have enough flow? Its only 1/8 BSP. Oh the hole is 1/8 BSP not NPT. The BSP is smaller and reguler pipe fitting will not go in.

It works fine.

Right I was asking if you could put one tee into another tee to make 3 outlets and one inlet. I guess this is acceptable then?

One tee into another tee will be ok? It seems that it would be fine since the oil pressure gauge and the oil pressure sender dont actually use up any noticable amount of oil and the only thing sucking oil out of the three things is the turbo oil feed.
