I was reading here what one owner did to put in gauges to monitor oil pressure:

Sadly, he doesn't seem to be around any longer (no recent post activity, and his sig seems to indicate that he doesn't own a VX any longer) - so I can't ask him. That said...
He tapped into something on his engine (where the current pressure sensor is?) to "T" off to hook in a secondary sender for his gauge. What I am wondering or trying to understand is:
1) Do you need to remove and drill/tap this part to fit the sender?
2) Do you need to drain the oil before installing the new sender (or pulling the part to mod it for the new sender)?
I also want a voltage gauge. I'm not sure how to wire something like that in, but I haven't researched it. But for both, my idea is to get these parts in place, then wire them to something like a car computer or such to get the info.
Or - if I am lucky - maybe both values will be a part of Torque and I can just add the gauges there and not worry about the hassle. But in case they aren't...well, I'm hoping for some advice.
