I understand that the Boxster has already a sensor for oil temp, does anyone know how to tap into it (I don't mean the mechanical part but how to hook up a gauge so that it reads correctly).
Yeah. That's what I was thinking about too. However, both gauges would probably be best. That way you can watch for spikes in oil temperature and drops in pressure due to oil starvation.
