I plan on running an oil feed line off of a oil cooler line block off plate adapter above the oil filter but I am having a hard time figuring out the parts needed to also include an oil temp sensor as well. all of the adapters appear to not be able to fit the length of the temp sensor . With T fittings I feel like the sensor would block a lot of the oil flow to the feed line.
anyone have any idea of the direction/parts/examples of what i can do?
the best option i have found is something like this but i can not find it with only 1/8NPT i only see BSPT threads. i still have a concern with the temp sensor blocking the port for the oil feed....
You can always take the stock oil pressure sensor behind the intake and use that port for turbo feed and the plate above the oil filter for your pressure gauge.

did you use yours with temp sensor or just a pressure sensor? the temp sensor is a bit longer and i am concerned it will block oil flow to the feed lines
The best place to install an oil temp sensor is always in the pan where it is submerged in oil at all times. Using the oil pressure port wont give you an accurate temp most likely.

Meh. I wouldn't feed the turbo with the last port to receive oil pressure on the entire motor.

This. I used a plug to fill the factory oil level sensor on my LS3 pan. I drilled and tapped the plug for my temp sensor.

thanks this is what I will do. I will just tap the pan near the bottom on the side.

Then how come the Improved Racing oil cooler adapter has the sensor built into the housing?
