I need to kno where i can check for my oil pressure on my 97 civic ex d16y8 b/c i just boosted it and now it has really low oil pressure. I was told that it was on the back of the block above the oil filter but i cant find it or its in a different spot any help or opinions would def help thanks

It's above the oil filter on the back of the block. There is a black rubber grommet that covers it up.

Where to you give the turbo it's oil supply if you didn't tap into the oil pressure sensor?

fresh oil comes from the oil sandwich adapter btw/ the block and the oil filter thanx for the input p.s. if i run my stock cat will that take away a lot of power b/c of restriction? thanx

Yes, the stock cat will restrict power. Just curious, what kind of turbo kit are you running?

garret t28 ball bearing w/ like 5-7 pounds of boost

You probably can't see the oil pressure sensor b/c of the sandwich adaptor. It probably sticks out further than the sensor does so it's blocking your view.
