i hooked up my oil pressure gauge right on top of the oil filter next to the line that goes to the turbo.

Oil Temperature ≠ Oil Pressure

Oil = Oil

Pressure exerted on oil acts equally in all directions.
Pascal's law states that pressure in a confined fluid is transmitted undiminished in every direction and acts with equal force on equal areas and at right angles in an engine.
It's usally fitted into a place at the end of the oil gallery to indicate when proper oil pressure is reached.

Have in mind that a turbo is an external device. It gets it's oil supply when all other engine parts are already lubed.

The oil filter adapter is a good place for the temperature sender. Expect a temperature drop (also an exposed location) in the oil pan.

Oil= Oil:pca1:

oil temp gauge sending unit ??:humm:

who is going to install an oil temp sender into a head?
The last application I have seen like that was an aircooled engine...
