[s-cars] Oil Pressure Gauge & Sender Install?

[Mark Strangways]

The secondary IC can be retrofitted to have Oil Pressure, Oil Temp, And 
Voltage.
I revamped my gauges to have oil Temp / Oil pressure / Boost pressure (using 
an OEM oil pressure gauge)

For the most part it's plug and play. The engine should have the taping for 
the sensor, and the wire may even be behind the dash and ready to connect.
