So if you loose this, what was the point of it in the first place?

With my InlinePro sidewinder manifold, I actually melted the end of my vtec sensor plug as its right next to the down pipe. I just bought one of these for my car while at Full Blown yesterday to replace that melted sensor.

Negatory.
We have 2 oil pressure sensors. There is one below the vtec solenoid and also one physically attached to the vtec solenoid. The one below the vtec solenoid is for the oil pressure light. The one physically on the solenoid is used by the stock ecu to see if oil pressure is high enough for vtec to engage. The EMS ignores the oil pressure sensor that is physically on the vtec solenoid. This bolt plugs and replaces the oil pressure sensor that is physically on the vtec solenoid.

standalones control vtec simply by turning the solenoid on and off. the solenoid is the top connector on the vtec itself. in stock configuration, vtec solenoid gets activated via oil pressure, hence the oil pressure switch.

thanks for clearing that up. I guess because the EMS ignores that pressure sensor, people decide to get a oil pressure gauge.

The oil light on the dash still works like stock as that circuit is still used.
