i looked on the ecu pinouts posted on pelican (in the engine swap tech article) and they do show an oil temp sensor for the 7.2 ecu. however, it is a 911 diagram and the boxster may not have that sensor (similar to the boxster not having an oil pressure sender - wtf). so, it would be nice to know if there is any truth to the statements i've previously read that the boxster just extrapolates oil temp from water temp or whether there is an actual sensor someplace. it would be nice to use an obd gauge instead of installing a whole new sender and having to wire from the back of the car forward. would have to wire an oil pressure sender regardless, but most of the obd gauges allow for external inputs as well so could accomplish it all with one gauge instead of two.
