So I asked my mech to install an oil press. gauge and he did. I noticed it was tapped into the block and I asked him about the debris from the drilling if it would cause any scoring or anything. He said they grease the drill bit so the debris sticks to it or something and they use a magnet too. It sounds weird to me, is this accurate????

it can be done in the block, i have personally done this. yes you can use grease and a magnet to prevent shavings from getting the system but i dont recommend it. i did it because i had to do it that way.
you cant do oil pressure at the pan, there is no pressure in the pan. its all after the oil pump. the best place to do it is like hoe the FTE guys get oil for the turbo. get a bypass fitting for the head where the factory pressure switch is. -------------------- 2001 Celica GT-S Turbo
