Can anyone point me in the direction of an adaptor etc etc
i need to run a VDO oil pressure gauge,
from the back of the oil filter housing..?

I was thinking of "T" ing it off from the pressure switch because I have the oil feed for the turbo coming out of the other port, where the feed for the vanos normally goes ...?

demon tweeks sell a braded hose with the correct fittings on each end. You can run the hose away from the filter housing and then screw a t peice into the end of it allowing the presssure sender and the bmw switch to still work.
