Lot of interesting opinions in here on the subject.

1052 user here, oil light works fine, I've removed the oil pressure sensor some time ago.

I think, like in the case of Termination, it is a nice safe guard to have. Due to my turbo set-ups I have had to use an oil relocation kit so thats where i get my feed/ oil pressure from.

I like your thinking.

Also on the subject of the light as a safeguard, I would like the option to cut power partially or fully when low oil pressure is sensed. I mean when in the world would you want to run the motor with low oil pressure, it means instant destruction. I'd much like it to throw a switch and demand me to over-ride it to continue driving the vehicle.

you dont need the stock oil sensor with AEM or stock ECU

Just disconnecting the wire will not give you a oil light in the dash, you must touch it to the chassis.

This is correct.
