I just got my oil pressure gauge in today and I'm wondering where the best place to put it in at? I know you can put it in place of the stock sending unit but I'm going to turbo with it and know that the oil feed line comes from there. Are there any other places I could put it that would give me a good reading? Thanks for your input

I Would use a bit of hose and attach it to a bracket somewhere near the engine. Use the hose to connect it to the sender location on the turbo. The problem is that senders are heavy and can crack the turbo oil supply piece, after miles of use. You do want to be taking pressure at the turbo, because that's a "worst case" reading.
