[Joshinthecity]

Josh I am doing the same thing , I just ordered oil pressure gauge from Autometer cos I have installed Turbo on the bike .
I want to keep an eye on it howowever, I am yet not sure what kind of pressure is within the normal range any idea ?

Nope, that would have been my next question.....

Where are you planning on taking a reading from?
also, Where are you mounting the gauge itself? I am hoping to avoid cutting into the plastic side covers.

I have two options: -

1- connect it to the same line feeding the Turbo see pic 1
( Pic from Turbohayabusa.com The Bull350 hope he does not mind for using it as a ref).

2- Connect it to the Stock Oil preassure senser by using a T see pic 2. ( pic from Suzukihayabua.org martso hope he does not mind for using it as a ref.)


I am going to cut the plastic to have it installed I guess there is no other place as I have Boost, Fuel Pressure, Oil Pressure, and I am even thinking to installing A/F gauge as well. Lots of gauges
