odd q's, AFM, Gauges

[Mk3 TurboS]

Ok so I have two Q's that aren't related but thought I could combine them in one thread.

First: I have a lex AFM sitting on my workbench. I only got it cause i needed a new AFM and thats all that was available. I used the electronics out of it but not the housing. Is there any point in using it as I have a SAFCII installed. Its not tuned YET. But will be very soon. And no im not getting any 550's any time soon.

Second: I also have After Market Oil pressure gauge and Water temp gauge sitting on my floor. Where bouts are the two sensors/senders for oil pressure and water temp. (pics would rule!)

Thanks all

I would not install that lexus AFM unless you have a new fuel pump, and an adjustable FPR to bump the pressure a bit. Keep it, but don't immediatly install it; thats what I'd do.

What kind of guages are they? On supraforums I recently had a thread about positioning of the sensors. For me, I'm installing my oil pressure with the Greddy oil block adapter; and hopefuly I can use the port for the A/C water temp sensor with an adapter from Autometer that Trent reccomended. The forums are down now or I'd get you the pictures from there.

Oil pressure sensor is on the front of the block, underneath the CPS - almost beside the power steering pump.

Water temp sensor is on the thermostat housing above this.

OK for the water temp gauge I know its one of these. Which one is it???

The one with the furthest right red arrow in the picture. The piece has "112" stamped in it in that picture.
