Looks awesome guys, this is a really nice solution for the kit.
I noticed you are using NPT threading on the oil sensor ports. The stock pressure sensor is BSP and it's not usually a good idea to mix the two threads, even though they are very close. Don't over tighten or you will strip or snap threads on your sensor. Make sure to use PTFE tape on all fittings that aren't AN as well.
McMaster-Carr sells NPT to BSP adapters for cheap too if you want to play it safe.

Although I thought I read somewhere that this adapter was included as a complete kit? Ptuning please clarify so I can order the correct adapter elsewhere since I need to get this up and going asap before my tune!
Here's the malt npt x female bspt adaptor if you need it. It's not cheap

Everything you will need to feed the oil to the block for the sensor is included. You will however need to supply the oil feed line from the odb to your turbo. If you are using it with the ptuning turbo system, you will simply reuse the oil feed line from our kit.

MrC, I found a cheaper source for the female 1/8BSP to male 1/8NPT adapter, about 5 bucks a piece in case anyone is interested: Go to McMaster-Carr and type in part number 4860K151. Hope that helps!
And the only reason I brought this up is because I snapped a sensor a long time ago trying to mate different threads and I wish someone would have given me a heads up.

Thanks steve for the info, unfortunately that part is a BSPP female thread to male npt. It needs to be BSPT female thread to male npt. BSPP is a parallel thread, hence the last P. Where as BSPT is a tapered thread, hence the last T. Those two are not interchangeable. We spent quite a bit of time searching for the BSPT female x NPT male and it's not very common, hence the huge price difference over other adaptors.

For those wondering if it fits with the GReddy kit, see the pic below.
Answer: Yes, with a note.
The only thing that would be needed is a custom turbo oil feed line. This is something that we're going to look into as a GReddy "option" for the ODB as the GReddy kit uses that fat oil feed line. We would have to come up with adapters to run the -4AN PTFE SS braided oil feed line.

As I mentioned before, we're only waiting on the updated oil feed line for the ODB; the line that we had custom made was delayed.
We apologize for the inconvenience but they will be shipping out as soon as we get the new lines!
