Thermostatic Oil Sandwich Plate 1/8NPT
 
I've searched high and low and come up empty. Anyone know of a thermostatic sandwich plate that has an 1/8NPT port for oil temp? I know Mishimoto makes one but I won't put their parts on my car so they might as well not make one.

This is the only one I've found and it's the wrong diameter

Ditching the Greddy?

Will be when I upgrade to V1.5. Eliminating two oil lines and four AN swivels is worth it alone. Making pulling the turbo easier is just a bonus. Just trying to plan ahead.

Possibly. Would have to check clearance. I don't recall how much room is there. Also have to do some research on reviews for this thing. Odd Mocal would make this and not just add a port to their thermostat plate.

My other option is run a tee fitting at the oil cooler and have one end be dead with the temp probe.

You could tap the oil pan spacer, that's where mine was originally.

That was my first thought. I axed it because it was another step backwards when I'm trying to get to an end game. Removing the pan, tapping and reRTVing is not high on my list.

Really leaning towards using the AN tee at the cooler and calling it a day

That's not a bad idea
