what is the best side for me to plumb my pressure gauge into? should i plumb it into the turbo side of the oil pressure system or the general lubrication side. just thinking if i plumb into the turbo side i can monitor the oil pressure to the turbo.

Definitely, get a braided oil feed pipe with a connector in for the oil pressure gauge.

If you call Think Automotive and tell them you're after one for a 5 they'll know what you need.

No i ain't, renault put an electrical oil pressure sensor on the bottom of the oil take off to the turbo connected to a pressure gauge on the dash, yeah it ain't that acurate and most have packed up but they still put it in
