Where to buy specialized oil sandwiches?
We've all seen the typical sandwiches designed for oil coolers with the ports on them. Thats great. I need that too. But really what I want is a sandwich with all of the following fittings in it to allow for a really clean install with a lower chance of leaking and breakage. Idealy I'd love to have:
-2 3/8ths NPT's or -8AN's for the cooler
-2 1/8th NPT for the aftermarket oil pressure and oil temp probes that I have for my SPA gauges.
-1 -4AN or -6AN for turbo feed line.
Anybody know where to find something like that?
SPLParts has the right idea but I don't understand why anyone would want two BSPT ports.

Of course the BSPTs could be converted to NPT with the appropriate fittings but that would just at one more place for leakage and breakage.
I remember an issue of NPM discussed a fitting that went into the OEM BSPT port and bifurcated into several different fittings including one BSPT and at least two 1/8 NPT's. Search turned up it was the October '04 issue. Nisport was the company that made the fitting. I can't seem to find ANYTHING about that company besides talk of them on forums. They don't have a website, nothing. And even NPM seems to be down right now so I can't contact them.

Not sure if someone makes that, but what I would do even though it's not that convenient but maybe the next best route is to get that item you linked to along with this http://www.stealthmodeperformance.co...blockfit.shtml
I would use this piece for the oil feed and the oil pressure (the end takes the stock op sensor, plus it's only $20.). I picked up this piece the other day so I wouldn't have to hunt down tees and what not, I got the oil feed and drain kit of the site. I think this dual 1/8 fitting was what you were looking for.

That could actually work very well if I had the space for all the junk. The aftermarket probes are quite large. The only problem I see arising is that the temp probe protrudes into the oil area to gather its reading. I just hope there is enough clearance for the probe. Thanks for the link.
