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).

I believe heads start to crack when the coolant temp goes over 235 degrees & it's alot easier to change oil than heads.
