that setup looks hokey as hell.
the "right" way would be to use a BSPT --> NPT adapter on the block before any "T".
I'd also recommend a T with one male 1/8" NPT fitting and two female 1/8" NPT ports, screw the two oil pressure senders into the female ports and the BSPT/NPT adapter onto the male port.
Of course one could always argue that a firewall-mounted remote sender setup would be the "right" way to do it, rather than hanging additional weight off the back of the block.
The fitting pictured doesn't look "right" to me at all.

just throw away the stock sender once you have a gauge, its just an idiot light anyway. Stick the aftermarket one in and you're good to go.
If you need to run an oil feed line to turbo then do a firewall mounted setup.

T's stuck directly to the back of the block are well known to crack. What's the point of posting this?
Mount the T on the firewall remotely like was stated above.

1/8 bspt to npt adapter > 3an line > oil distribution block mounted on firewall. from the distro block you hook up whatever you need like the stock oil psi sender, aftermarket oil psi sensor, turbo oil feed, etc...
less weight on the back of your block vibrating at the oil psi sender hole. when you use those t's its not uncommon for them to break on in the block.
