I bought the perma cool oil filter relocation from summit and was going to run a glowshift sandwhich adaptor which came reccomeneded to me by a few members here on the board.

The glowshift sandwhich has 4 ports and plugs with o-rings, will let you run the stock oil sensor, an aftermarket oil pressure sensor, oil temp sensor, and an oil cooler if you like. And its on sale for 29.99$ :)

They also have good prices and a wide selection on gauges.

Yeah you could do that...

I got my glowshift sandwhich adapter a few days ago. Looking to do the install of the sandwhich adaptor and oil filter relocation kit this weekend.

Dont think i need an oil cooler so not gonna mess with that anytime soon.

Gonna run an oil pressure gauge for sure and most likely an oil temp gauge, that will take up 2 ports.

And thinking about using the other ports for the turbo oil feed/return lines.

If you just want to put in another pressure gauge, why no just put in a 1/4" npt 'T' and hook up another pressure sensor?

After spending too much time looking at the numerous adapters and issues with getting a homedepo "T" I just ordered the Glowshift adapter. Went on perfectly. Took about 10 minutes to install. No issues with interference from the sway bar on the oil filter install. No need to relocate the OEM idiot light oil pressue sensor. I'm all for the DIY, but the $29 bucks is worth the time I would have spent on the fitting isle IMHO.

+1. I dont have to worry about clearance though as im installing the glowshift sandwhich between the engine and the remote filter adaptor, and i have no swaybar.
BUt it looks like an easy install and am im going to be putting in on soon. Not to mention the fact that it gives u options with 4 ports.

Swagelok and Parker make quality fittings. You can order fittings from your local Parker store. If you buy at the counter, there is no minimums.

I have a business that does Stainless Steel dispensing systems. We have a large inventory of Stainless fittings and we often order fittings from our suppliers.

PM me if you simply want a good 1/4" Tee fitting to add a gauge.
