It's not much heavier than the standard pressure switch and its an M16x1.5 thread into the (aluminium) block.
I can't see it myself but it's making me think..
I could fit the sensor remotely using flex hose, but this adds cost and more joins (and potential for leaks!)
Anyone have any thoughts?

Well there's really only one way to find out. If the weight and design is very similar to stock, I wouldn't worry about it.
