I know this is an old thread, but I have a couple questions, I just want to verify that it'll be ok.

I don't have stock gauges in the FD anymore, switched to Speedhut. So I'm thinking about deleting the stock oil pressure sender and putting the aftermarket (Spa Techniques) sender in its place. I'm switching from a Power FC to Adaptronic Select...it shouldn't cause any issues with the ECU, correct? I've been told the stock pressure sender feeds info only to the gauge cluster, not the ECU, but I wanted to make sure.

Also, since I'll only need one more port for the oil temp sender, I've been thinking about getting rid of the sandwich plate I've been using, but I'm trying to think of a good place to mount the sender. I've thought about mounting it in the bottom of the stock oil filter pedestal or in the Mocal thermostat before the oil coolers. I think I've seen someone mount it in the thermostat. If I do either of those I want to make sure it's not obstructing oil flow.

And right now I have the water temp sensor tapped into the water pump housing, right behind the thermostat, because I wanted it in the hottest place on the engine and I figured that would be it. But now seeing that someone else mounted theirs in the stock port, I'm thinking about doing that. Would there be any problems with the ECU by getting rid of the stock water temp sensor or does it feed only the gauge as well?

Any suggestions?
