Default Oil pressure sender placement

Those that are running an aftermarket oil pressure gauge, where did you put the sending unit? I was thinking of putting it off the block off plate above the filter but that is where Im pulling my oil feed for the turbo. Im having trouble finding a T fitting that has 2 -3 AN fittings and 1 1/8 NPT so Im considering other options.

Your best bet IMHO, is to do as I have done, remove the stock oil pressure sender, Buy Autometer #2268, a -3 AN Male x -3AN Male x 1/8" NPT Male Tee, Brass Pipe Street Tee Fitting 1/8" NPT, and a brass 1/8 npt 45° street elbow. When these pieces are connected properly, it will result in you having 3 pressurized oil outlets, 2 -3 AN, and a 1/8 NPT. I used a -3AN to feed each of my turbos, and the 1/8 NPT for the oil pressure gauge. sorry for the long post. I am sure there is a different way to do it, but this way i did not have to tap anything.
