If it came with the RB Oil adapter then you don't have to tap anything.

its easy to tap into oil lines. but if thats what you "dont" want, then yeah get the RB sandwich and it should be fine (no tapping)

You can cover it up unused holes with pod covers like these:

For some reason, that reminded me of the Simpsons where Martin built a rocket car for a box cart race. He was going down the hill and the fake sticker gauges came off.

There are one hole for the oil temp and another for pressure. You can just cap it off with a screw if you're not using it.

Im not sure about the RB adapter, but Anniversary & Greddy has 1 of the holes covered, so you can just use 1 first, and open the other one later.

I'm sorry, I couldn't resist

Seriously though, just get the RB sandwich plate and put in the third gauge

yo, that's messed up.....but tha'ts funny..i will see you guys on tuesday...

bad news, i went to my mechanic house, and i found out that the third gauge didn't fit because AEM has a big face...i was pissed. my mechanic will do something, i don't know what will happen, he will work it out, but it will look little different from how it's supposed to. i have (truboost, AFR, and oil temps).

note: just an advice, don't use AEM (all three) on RB pod because it will not fit.

i will show the pics tomorrow....

bangkok got turbo, so bangkok can do faster business ,...hahahhahaha..caution guys, bangkok is coming........
