Wife just got NB and I'm looking at the Ultragauge. Plugs into the service port and tells all - temp, pressures, gas mileage,all computer data. Hope this helps a bit.

There are plugs in the oil filter housing.

Sorry to say but the Ultragauge Classic or EM will not display Oil Pressure.

But it is a nice tool to have and is now only about 69 bucks.

Thumbs down

No oil pressure on Ultra gauge? That's a bummer. I'd dump 3/4 of the other readings for oil pressure.

This gauge is the most complete plug in Gauge that I know.
I had one on my Audi TT and it worked GREAT. I like that you can do the throttle adaption from this gauge. That is something no other gauge can do. Sadly I don't think it has an Oil pressure display either.
