It's quite easy to figure out if you have the right tools and measurement equipment.

Not to mention since the DEFi oil pressure gauge sensor point is already installed with the OEM oil pressure sensor with a 1/8" NPT Tee fitting.
This is how I know for sure and can guarantee that it is a 1/8" NPT.

Yes, side by side is the easiest way to tell, makes the thread taper much more apparent. +rep for doing your homework.
