I know the oil pressure gauge is located at the top part of the motor bythe firewall, at the back end of the valley pan, but I'm not sure where the water temp is, if I had my guess it would be in the drivers side of the motor either in the head or the side of he block. But then again I don't know

there are 2 sensors up front. one looks to be on the water pump kinda beside the oil fill tube. the other is at the very front of the driver side exhaust manifold. which one?

the one on top of the water pump is recomended but you can use the one on the head too.. Also the oIl sensor on a factory ats turbo is at the turbo oil tube connection.
