Besides unless you plan on taking the exhaust manifold out to tap it, thers a good chance some shavings might get into the turbo... crunch crunch turbine wheel goes poof.

Has anyone successfully installed an oil pressure gauge in a GXP? I found the oil gallery plugs. It has to be done on the drivers side, the passenger side heat would kill the transducer. The drivers side has both the oil gallery plugs and the oem oil pressure switch. The oil gallery plugs appear to be torqued and locktited. All you can get into them is a small allen key wrench which doesn't allow enough torque to break them loose. The oil pressure switch is behind the starter and it looks like the engine has to be lifted to remove the starter
