Soon to be FI.

 

Innovative! Re-purposed vacuum blocks are less expensive than the PTuning offering. Any pics of the mount?

 

will get one tomorrow. for now here is a quick paint art I just did for you.

 

Lol most venders are far cheaper then ptuning. .... no hate! I have the ptuning gtx kit. But they never been able to beat another s2ki vendor price...

 

No point hiding, I just copied their design, just far far cheaper. Total parts cost was way under 100 dollars. Including international shipping for the vacuum block fro the states.

I suppose you pay quality and customer service and their parts are quality, no point arguing. Had they been local, or if I was challenged with diy I would have gone for their kit.
I mean for some it can be impossible to find the right parts, or make lets say the oil supply line with all the fittings needed.

So all in all, the PTuning kit is great and I blatantly made a cheapo copy of it. I mean when I started I was not sure if my temp sensor would fit all the way in and not bottom out before it was on tight enough. And so many other little things.

 

If there is not outlet from the block, the temp sensor may not read very well. Oil will generally be much cooler in the distribution block.

Pressure will read just fine though.

 

Thanks for the input. I'm aware of the issue but solution is being installed soon. as per my 1st post soon to be FI.

 

And to be exact, I've installed the temp sensor before the turbo feed so as oil will flow past the sensor in order to provide accurate(ish) readings.

Ideally temp sensor should go in sump.

 

Yeah, that should work.

I had mine in a dead end block, and it took a long time for it to see proper temps. I know the oil cooler doesn't work that good.

 

Yep as others said, I wouldn't put a temp probe in a remote spot like that, simply because it likely won't be accurate at all. Unless you have oil flowing past the sensor it'll never read accurately, and even then, it could read slightly cooler.
