Where to take an oil pressure reading? Is there any other place to take an oil pressure reading besides from the sending unit because it's impossible to get too.

Right above the oil filter there is a plate with 2 10mm bolts. It is drilled with the correct size hole to tap with 1/8npt, just not all the way through. You can take a smaller bit and finish the hole out, then run the 1/8" tap down it and screw in about any aftermarket sending unit. It honestly takes not longer than 10 minutes to do. Once you are done you could just screw a 1/8 cap into it. It is really pretty easy, and you will always have a port if you needed for and aftermarket gauge, turbo oil feed etc.
