Safe to tap turbo in to oil pressure line???
Is it OK to run the oil pressure from the oil pressure sender orifice to a turbo??? I'm trying to turbo my S4 6-port and was wondering if that would work. Thanks for any info....

Yep. Just be aware that it is 1/8" BSP not NPT.

Definitely no problem with this, an oil pressure gauge will have no impact on existing oil pressure.
