Oil pressure and Water Temp Gauge installation
im wondering how everyone is doing theirs, im gonna have a T on the back of my block where my oil pressure sensor is, and the feed line for my turbo, im wondering if i need to get a 4 way adapter for the line on the mechanical oil press gauge
and on the water temp i know it comes with a fitting to tap into a water line or supply, im wondering where to tap this into?

I had a 3 way tee for my oil. Stock pressure sending unit, oil feed and feed for the gauge. For my water temp, I had a pipe with a tapped hole to screw the sensor in and placed it in the upper rad hose

For oil yeah just use a t fitting and run the line through firewall.
For the water temp another possibility might be to use the bleed off for the coolant but I have no experience in that just offering a suggestion of difference.
