Chris - did you ever find out about compatible gauges, or for sure that the dummy-sensor side of the one you found would be compat with our car? What's the one you found?

Alex - any concerns about the swaybar hitting your adapter setup, or is it high enough above it to be out of range? It looks high enough in the pics, just making sure. I guess the alternative would be to use a 90 degree adapter right off the bat, towards the oil filter.

No worries at all. That portion of the sway bar is as close to the fittings as it'll ever get. The front wheels are unloaded (car on jack stands), so the bar has already pivoted upwards as far as it can go. Once on the ground, there is even more clearance.

VDO 360023 is a 150 psi sender with a 7.0 psi idiot light output M10 thread.
VDO 360025 is a 150 psi sender with 11.4 psi idiot light output and 1/8 NPT thread.

The sender feed is designed for the VDO gauge, couldn't figure out what else it might be compatible with.

Jegs seems to have the best prices on the VDO stuff, here is their listing.
