Original vs low profile turbo temp sensor?
Just about to order some stuff for my new turbo install but I'm a little unsure about the low profile temp sensor.
My mechanic says that it's probably possible to loose the big connector on the original sensor, cut the pin down a bit and solder the cable directly to the pin and save the cost for a new sensor?
Does anyone have a picture of the low profile sensor or even better a side to side comparison picture?

Edit - sorry, I thought that would show the photo!
There might be a couple of how it sits in one of my photobucket sub-albums.....http://s1189.photobucket.com/albums/...rbo%20Install/

Napa has them for $56 each, special order Part number FS158, rock auto doesnt list it, so no real idea of OEM fittment, but other threads list it to work perfectly!
