HELP! Greddy turbo, Where is the OIL pressure switch?

I Need To Tap The Oil, I Can't Figure Out Where This Oil Pressure Sending Unit. I Know Its Behind The Driver's Rotor Area, But What Does It Look Like????

Can Anyone Describe It Or Send Me A Diagram Or Picture???
Thanks In Advance!

(my First Turbo Install) So Far 75% Done

So far, i had to drill a hole in the brackets holding the intercooler to make it fit, but other than that, everything is going smoothly

This may not help much but it's a round cylinder and it's right below the oil filter. A bracket that holds a line to the clutch is right next to it (removing the bracket makes it easier to install the T and the line)

i took that bracket apart, then that line..and CLEAR OIL came out.. it was also thin,
.. i guess its behind it right?



anyways thanks! ..
i installed a intake before; and on the forums people said the turbo caused the engine to stall after pressing the clutch/ or on neutral after cruising speed (50+mph)

IS THERE ANYWAY TO FIX THAT?
WILL THAT HAPPEN AFTER THE TURBO INSTALL??

INPUTS PLEASE!

So you're saying you took off the clutch fluid line and clutch fluid came out? Makes sense...

I'm not sure by your post if you managed to find the oil sending unit, but I was just looking at the installation instructions and there is a picture of it in there.

thanks mike,... yea i did make that mistake of taking the clutch fluid apart LOL...
i guess i know where to go for the oil tap..

did you ever have Stalling issues (rpms would go straight to ZERO) after the greddy kit?
I know that when i installed a no name brand intake, rpms would go straight to Zero and it would stall when I shift gears or go to neutral (would the emanage fix that?)

PS. THANKS IN ADVANCED

Mine did that yes and I'm no expert yet as to why. I can tell you the part of my setup that makes me suspicious about it though: the e-manage ultimate (MAF-based under vacuum) and a BOV venting to atmosphere. Now that I am running the Interceptor-X I don't have that issue. I believe some have fixed the issue you are talking about, though, using the anti-engine stall map in the EMU. I tried that and couldn't get it to work.
