basically you’ll need a oil pressure sender unit that drops and raises resistance via oil pressure rather then the oil pressure switch that you now
the TMTN elites have the sender unit as they had the gauge on the digital dash it might be worth going to a self serve wrecker and seeing if one fits? (actually i have one i dont need any more if you want it for nothing)
if not take your current one out and go to repco and see if you can get one with the same sized thread that fits other cars with a gauge?

Where the standard oil pressure switch threads in to block/head, you will need to put a T piece in and install your new sensor and the original sensor to the T piece.
You still need to retain your stock oil pressure light/switch in the dash for ARD compliancy, not to mention it is the sensible thing to do.
Pirtec will have the T piece, its a tapered fit brass piece.
You can also get some sensors with 2 outputs on them, one for the stock dash light and one for the aftermarket gauge, but it depends on your budget as to which route you take.
