the boxster engine already has the oil pressure sensor, but it just runs one wire for the idiot light, what you do is swap in the sensor from a carrera, it is the same but it has 2 leads, one for the idiot light, and one for the pressure gauge. For the temp gauge, you get the proper sender and it goes on a port that is on the opposite cylinder head from the oil pressure port, it just does not have a sensor in it, just a plug. Take out the plug and screw in the tmep sensor sender. You run the wiring up from the engine bay through the firewall by bundling it with another existing wire bundle that already goes through.

I have the gauges and the sensors in, and the wire run, I just need to fab a faceplate and wire up the gauges, and there you have it. Oil temp, oil presure and a voltmeter if you want. I didnt want the voltmeter, but I definitely wanted oil temp so I am sure things are up to temp before I get on the motor. Pressure is also nice to see things are going as they should be.
