You have three options.

1. Get a Greddy oil sandwhich adapter and don't mess with that tap thing.

2. Use the tap and then add a brass tee so that you can plug in two sensors into one hole.

3. Use the tap, but don't plug the stock oil pressure sensor back in and deal with the idiot light.

No. 3 no thanks
Is No. 2 safe? i heard teeing off is a bad idea but as long as you use teflon tape you should be good.
No. 1, id rather not buy them, since there like 40bux i think(ebay) but is it better then teeing? id rather spend more now then fix something later.

Teeing isn't a good idea since brass is pretty soft and has been known to snap off threads if under too much stress. I went from tees to the sandwich adapter and it has three ports for everything you are trying to plug in. It is also easier to work with than a mess of tees at the back of the block.

The Greddy ones are around $50 and the GE ones are around $80-90. I bought mine from kteller, but I wouldn't recommend buying from them.
