Default 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?

thanks in advance

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.

yea the oil filter adapter should work just fine,or like specv said,just remove your oil pres sending unit and attach a brass adapter with a fitting on it.
