Question stock oil pressure gauge is this possible
Can I make the stock oil pressure gauge work like a real pressure gauge by changing the sending unit to detect a variable pressure. Rather than an on or off.

No. the stock sensor does read the exact pressure and reports it to the ecu. Ecu activates the dummy gauge at 6psi to read as normal.
