I've decided the best place for oil pressure is in the heads. There are already 1/8 NPT ports at the end of the galley for the cams. Which means no adapters are needed, and you're reading the oil pressure out at the furthest point of pressure from the oil pump. I put my oil pressure gauge on the driver's side heads. It's the same port that the turbo gets fed oil from on the passenger side heads.

In the past I had my oil pressure gauge in my remote oil filter block, and I always saw plenty of pressure, meanwhile I was starving the crank journals and eventually nuked a rod bearing. I'm hoping that with the sensor way out in the heads, now if there's any oil starvation I'll see it for sure on the gauge.

And for the oil temp, this time around I drilled and tapped the oil galley plug on the top of the block for the 1/8 NPT temp sender. I'm a little afraid the temp will be more like the "block temp" rather than the "oil temp", but lots of other folks have used this location without issue so I figure it'll be okay. I just wanted to get all the sensors out of the oil cooler loop.
