That "T" fitting has been there since i bought the car.

All i had to do was unscrew the bad OEM sensor and put in the AEM one in its spot (using the remote line of course) I'd guess it is about 4-6" higher then the oil pan and down pipe.

But you never know something odd could swing up there and take that out. It would have to go through the oil filter first as the filter is about even with the bottom of the oil line, oil pressure sensor line.

Pictures are at a bad angle, I can take different ones if need be when I"m removing the turbo this weekend.

I do plan to do something about it come taxes. I plan to run and External Oil cooler and at that point I'll address the issue. I have thought about possibly running a Moroso Oil pan which I've read helps with the dsm oiling issue for Road racing cars. And the pan has ports for oil pressure, and Oil temps if I'm not mistaken (been a few months since I was looking at them)
