Oil pressure guage question.

is it possible to

1. remove the idiot light pressure switch (duh it's possible to remove..... but)

2. and somehow give it the signal there is enough pressure

3. and screw in aftermarket pressure sensor with same pitch & thread

4. and hook it up to a gauge of my choice?

I'm sorry but the words "oil pressure" "tricking" and "ecu" shouldn't be combined in any level of sanity....

Do it right and use a T fitting or a filter plate and have the peace of mind of not being foolish
