best place for oil pressure sensor ?
Of those you also want the dual relief.
This is the latest oil improvement vw did to these.
It seperates the oil cooler bypass and the oil pressure bypass.

A single relief can be made to work with more modifying.
The single type is more of a three way valve and it makes getting oil pressure and oil cooler flow to balance. You can "full flow" the case and run the cooler there and use the relief for pressure only.
good morning, did not see much about instruments, what should be used to keep an eye on everything.
So, I have installed the fuel gauge, voltmeter, oil pressure, oil temperature, and cylinder head temp gauges.
First I think the CHT gauge sucks, it has never worked... or should I say give a temp reading.
Maybe go digital with this one is a better idea.
Okay all are VDO gauges if that matters, oh yeah I put in a GPS speedo because I ran into issue getting the old VDO speedo cable, why do it now if the cable length might change, always do it later.
MY question is, where is the best place to get the oil temperature from ???
I pulled the plug from the oil pressure relief valve, lower front corner of head by #4 cylinder, and placed the sensor there, but I do not get a reading, not a good one, will check all wiring later today, make sure it is correct, and also make sure that sensor is truly the one for the gauge.
Love this thread.
