I have a oil pressure and temperature gauge to fit which use remote senders and i'm not too sure where to place them.

I was thinking of running an oil line directly from the turbo behind the firewall by having a take off point from where the oil feed line goes into the turbo.
Then on the other side of the firewall another tee-piece either side of which I can fit the remote senders.

Any thoughts?

How you go about sump fitment, just drill and tap it?

So has no one else fitted a oil temp sender to their sump?
Would it really be that bad taking the temperature from the turbo feed line?

My temp sender is on the sump. I drilled a hole in it and soldered the sender in place. :) My oil pressure is taken from the top of the turbo. ;)
