There was a bell-shaped device on top of the fitting that comes out the block in which the turbo oil feed attaches. I think it may have been an electric oil pressure device becuase I can see a diaphram inside, but it thoroughly pissed me off so I busted it off with a crow bar and plugged its hole (couldn't get to it's fitting with a wrench).

BTW, I have an SDS standalone in my car and have never owned a stock computer vehicle, so I don't know all of what the stock computer would read, but there was never a wire coming out of it.

While I'm at it, what is the bellshaped device that threads into the intake man between 2 and 3 injector; is this the stock knock sensor (mine is threaded into the head)?

The one at the oil pressure feed is the oil pressure sender-its for the guage/light or both.

The 2nd one is the knock sensor.
