oil pressure sensor condenser, twin scroll help

so the ring on my condenser for my oil press sensor fell off and then the condenser disappeared. I tried grounding with a ring terminal and the guage immediately went all the way to the top. I realized i had a similar condenser on my 86 n/a but it was bolted to the trailing coil. I know they arent the same thing and now my press guage doesn't read. (i bolted it next to the slave cyl), is the condenser my problem?

also, i needed to run a vac line for my twin scroll and the local parts store olny 3/16 vac line, which seems to be considerably smaller than the 3.5 mm hose. i got the line on but its pretty snug. will this cause problems? (restricted flow)

No, it is very unreasonable (and frankly kind of rude) of you to expect an answer within only 2 hours. Even more so when most members here don't even know what the condenser is or does. I should just delete the whole thread if you are going to whine. Did you not read the announcement at the top of this section in big bold red letters? No bumps.



The condenser is the same regardless of model or year. You probably burnt up your gauge when you grounded the wire (the absolute last thing you wanted to do).

and the vac line probably won't matter, unless you got cheap *** crappy vinyl/ silicone stuff that collapses under suction or expands under pressure.

woah.... I wasn't trying to bump and I wasn't trying to be rude, but you are right. I usually get a response very quickly. i thought that i may have over thought all of this ( which i do ), and was asking a stupid question, I guess i just wanted to know if it was a dumb question. sorry, i do understand the rules and i suppose i could have just asked if it was a dumb question. one reason i have olny had 92 posts in almost two years of visiting daily is that i don't want to gum up the works with stupid posts.
