Sorry to go back to oil temp. but has anyone else installed the Kufatec EMFA?  It implies that it wont work if the MFA is used to display phone info anyone know if thats true as oil temp or pressure is something I would really like to have to know when the engine is fully up to temp.

Awesome sell a sump plug which has a 1/8" NPT threaded hole thru the centre for gauge fitting. Fairly cheap and I'd look into that option if fitting a oil temp gauge to mine

Ahh ok cheers Brett, interested to see the pictures as integrated oil temp or even oil pressure would be really good to have. had even been considering the little screen that some yanks have put together that goes in the air vent if they developed the software for oil info it runs off the OBD port so isn't really very OEM which is what I like.

Pictures will be interesting of the operation.
