Default Assistance Needed: Optimal location for Oil Pressure Sending Unit For a Guage?

Who's running an aftermarket oil pressure gauge?
Trying to figure out where to mount that huge oil sending unit along with 2 oil feed lines ( head and turbo). Plus keeping the oem oil sending unit. Currently using an M -factory sandwich adapter with 2 outlets.

I recently discovered this:
Oil Pressure Sensor Adapter

it looks like the very first reliable "T" ever made

I run this fitting, it's made out of stainless and I use it for turbo oil feed, aem oil pressure sensor, and oem oil pressure sensor. If I would have known about the one posted above at the time I would have probably gone that route. Although mine has been leak and trouble free so far.

I ran a line off my GE sandwich plate to a remote location in the bay for it. Too much of a pain trying to cram all that stuff stuff next to the block imo. But I do like the proposed solutions above

+1 i did the same. I did it for two reasons. Its easier to get to. Got a brand new AEM fluid pressure gauge with the brass sensor, hooked it up, put brass sensor on a brass tee on the factory oil pressure sensor location, fired up brand new setup for first time, gauge was reading great for about 30 minutes and all of sudden was displaying two -- instead of numbers, unpluged sensor and plugged harness on the aem fuel pressure sensor and it was reading fine, bought a stainless unbranded sensor off of ebay for the low and relocated off the back of the block and been fine for months. I would say the vibrations killed the original sensor.
