ok so I picked up three 2 1/16 gauges with the asumption i would mount them under my stereo deck, now that I take a second look.... i dont think itll fit
 . Anyone have any good places to mount em? Im trying to stay away from pillar pods because I want to keep a stock look, but if i have to, ill do it. Anyone have any good places to mount? pics?

have you checked your oil lately ?
 also, a common thing is that sometimes the fitting will leak if not taped properly and you could be leaking oil, causing a drop in pressure. -------------------- |

Yes the oil level is fine, and i checked the sensor and adaptor for leakes and I didnt get any. But in the instructions it told me not to tape it because it gets a ground from the engine block so i didnt, should I do it anyway? -------------------- The question is not how far.
