Default Where To Put Oil Temp/Oil Pressure Gauges?

Im gonna be installing oil temp and pressure gauges, searched and found lots of useful information but I was not able to answer my questions on WHERE i should put the temp gauge. (Im installing a turbo that will feed off of the stock oil pressure sender port and also installing an oil cooler system that will be installed off the oil filter location) Where would the best place for the oil temp gauge to read temps..I guess it would be after the oil cooler but can I hook the temp/pressure gauges off the same spot where the oem oil pressure sending unit is attached...will i get the colder reading after my oil cooler?

also, where should I purchase the needed -3 stainless steel lines (with 1/8" NPT Female fittings)

as far as the temp gauge, you would want to put it on the oil pan; where oil is stationary.
pressure gauge, off of sandwich adapter or oil distribution block off of the stock sender.

ok, so i guess just tap it into the oil pan any suggestions? should I tap a larger fitting and fit that sender to that? should I need to install a thermostat for my oil cooling system? ill be running a turbo...90% street driving for now and 10% racing (road race) will my oil temps go below 220? will the thermostat impede flow during racing?
