  I forgot where I got my VDO set,  but it came with a 90psi gauge and the
dual pole sender.  I mounted the sender on the oil filter flange...there are
two ports there...This is on an inline, so maybe not germane to the WBX
we've been talking about.
  Mine maxes-out at the top of the analog gauge when cold started.  About
the same time as I see the needle start up the dial on my coolant gauge, the
Oil Pressure gauge comes off the top "peg".  65-70 psi (my OP at highway
speeds)  is about 2/3rds across the dial on my gauge...
