Does anyone know if anyone makes a product for us to install oil pressure and oil temp gauges. below is a link for a Wrx style adaptor. It would make things ten times easier.

What we need is plate to go between the stock cooler (above link in blue) and the housing for the canister. The red adapter they show has locations for oil pressure and oil temp gauge taps.
Just imagine a 1" thick plate with taps that bolts between stock oil cooler and the canister housing.
This looks like a good place to tap into the cooling system with an inline tap for a water temp. gage too.
This drilling canister tops and oil drain plugs doesn't suit me.

 

I am a bit confused about your post regarding water temp. can you elaborate. What does the the $225 give you just the red part.

 

If you look at the picture the stock oil cooler (blue) is cooled by cooling system water. Those two nipples on the blue cooler are for cooling system water, in and out. The nipples on the red adapter shown are for oil lines.
If you scroll down they provided more info.

 

In the long search for a part to make the install process a little easier. I finally found it. A little expensive but a much cleaner install then drilling through the oil cap.
