Quality of an eBay part? Well it's an eBay part.

I'd hit up the small answers thread. And I wouldn't trust any eBay part for the record.

You can't (or shouldn't) put an aftermarket oil pressure unit in the place of oem unit because theyre a different thread pitch. If you want to use the original oil pressure oil port, check out stealth mode performances adapter; it's only $20!

stealthmode//performance (http://www.stealthmodeperformance.com/oil-blockfit.shtml)

I actually have one, and used it on my old kat just fine. I'm not using it on my rb now bc I couldn't get the old pressure unit off. Instead, against my wishes, im using the cxracing sandwich plate and it's working fine for me so far.

Last I heard PBM's EVDM comes with a presser sensor that works with our cars.

Na get the tomei oil block off plate. I got mine for 120$ after a month wait but its well worth it for the same price peice from tomei. Although there wont be much difference between the two besides types of aluminum I would assum I just have a little more faith in tomei. My oil block was cracked from removing the stock pressure sensor (NPT threads are tapered and if overtightened can crack the casting) so I just replaced it and used a remote filter block cuz the oe location sucks ballz. Plus it looks titties....if you care to find it lol.
