Yep , kinda. The issue is room around the original sending units. I have been searching suppliers catalogs for parts and it almost looks like the best thing to do is to get a small manifold ( meaning it has a inlet on one end and outlet on other, but in between has ports to connect to ) This will shorten the whole kit up much smaller.
Much of the issue has been with me. I went down to see my Grandaughter in N.C. as she was in the hospital - on the way back home I stopped in a Harley shop and tried to dislocate my hip in their parking lot , this was Dec. 5 th , called my Primary care Doc on the way home on I-95 in extreme pain - said go right to ER - while there at the Hospital. in the Radiology dept started to have chest pains ( I have many heart issues ) ok so treat that now. By the 9th also had a IV blowout a vein. Looked like MRSA started at the IV site ( MRSA is a drug resistent type of Staph infection - very nasty at times ) Can't touch the hip - finally no infection found after multi blood cultures - on Dec 12th finally did injection into hip and let me leave , almost completly dehydrated. Just getting back on my feet and here comes the Holidays. So this will probably be the first of the year before I get back on this.

Yes, as MAP, or Manifold Absolute Pressure, so you are seeing ambient pressure with engine off, vacuum at idle, and boost when you are working the turbo.

There have been a few posts here from Adam. If you call or email they're offering them but it sounds like only with boost and water temp.

See my other post about what I'm considering doing for fitting an oil temp sensor.

Adam, where are you suggesting tapping the sensors for oil temp and oil pressure? I didn't know anyone found a reasonable solution to those two sensors on the R56 yet?
