In regard to the oil pressure, do you just replace the sensor in the block, with an oil pressure sender unit?
What price is the gauge assembly over there?

Thank You
You just need to replace the 986 oil sender unit with a 996 unit and route the additional wire to the cluster (If you didn't already do it, order the book "101 projects for your Boxster" from Pelican Parts, it's Project 90
In total all parts included it cost me around US$ 600
I started with a very cheap used cluster ($250) on eBay which as it turned out had some defects so I needed to buy a few extra parts
Then I decided to add the 996 surround: $100
and then needed the 996 hazard button assembly $70
to get it 100% legal I will have to spend another $150 to have Palo Alto Speedometer change the mileage on the cluster to show the actual mileage on the car.
The whole story of my ordeal can be found at the Pelican Parts Boxster forum, look for "Problem with 996 cluster install in 986", it's a very long story but an interesting read.
