Default Oil line configuration?

Trying to come up with a good configuration here. This is an M-Factory sandwich plate. The line on the left is supposed to be the turbo oil feed, The small hole just above it is for the factory oil pressure sending unit. not sure if I'm gonna utilize it yet or just plug it off. The 2 outlets on top are the one's that are giving me problems. Coolant tube is kinda in the way.
I still need to run the feed line for the head, feed line for aftermarket gauge (not sure yet if I'm going with mech. or elec.).
My concern that I'm worried about is if I use a 45 or 90 degree fitting, how much will it decrease the oil presssure or will it be negligable?

angle of the fitting wont matter...
you can rotate the sandwich plate any which way, it might be better to put a 90 on the feed line and have that port pointed towards the ground so you don't have any clearance issues for the sending unit.... i wouldn't run a fitting between the sending unit because they'be been known to snap off

Trying to keep everything nice and tidy and minimize the number of fittings/joints. Less chance of leaks.

Good Question, Wont be now. It'll be used for the aftermarket gauge.
Knew I was over thinking it.

The stock sender is worthless. Only reads pressure or none. So when it comes on your already in trouble.

Yea, I know. Gotta have my gauges in anything I drive. Without them I'm blind.

i have oil temp sensor, turbo feed with 90 degree fitting, and oil pressure sensor all on the same sandwichplate for my turbo gsr. i have no problems with fitment nor issues with leaks or bad oil pressures. so you can do the same if you want cause it would be fine.

If you want to run a small 6" steel braided line off the stock sensor location and then into a T you can do that and that helps the broken oem port. You can just zip tie it and the vibration won't hurt it a bit.
