Good oil supply solution?

I saw this on Ebay, and I was wondering if this would be a good solution to oil supply for gauges, superchargers, turbos, etc.

Seems like a good idea, but I would worry about this failing the oil supply system or anything of that nature.

Cool idea, I like the idea of having a seporate oil pressure sender because my car will damn near burn through all it's oil and an oil light never comes on

those work fine, i believe they are called pancake adaptors and they are used for sending oil to a turbo or supercharger as well as to an oil cooler.

Upon doing some research, I've found that Volvo uses something like this to feed their oil to their turbo cars for oil cooling. It's not exactly like this one, but similar. I guess it couldn't hurt to try it. It's not like I won't have a gauge to monitor it. And I'm assuming with oil, as long as there is pressure, there is going to be oil going where it needs to be.

do us all a favor and go to jegs.com or summitracing.com and get one that isnt going to kill your supercharger, turbo or engine all together because it stops working

I'm not so sure this one would just stop working. It's not mechanical, it's just a piece of aluminum. But if Summit or Jegs sells them, it's worth me looking into buying from them instead.
