THIS IS NOT a thread asking to show your gauges, what kind etc..

This thread was created in order to determine the best place to fit your aftermarket senders, vaccum fittings etc.

Oil pressure:
I was going to simply put oil pressure it in place of the OEM unit. I then got to wondering if it would be better to place it in line with my turbo feed line. Any input?

Water Temp vs Oil Temp:
I also got to questioning the importance of having an oil temp gauge over water temp. I would again replace the oem water temp sender with the aftermarket one.

Boost:
Boost gauge would be a VDO mechanical unit, and i would run the tee inline with the wastgate vaccum hose. Could i just run a brass fitting from the compressor housing as opposed to using the nipple on the throttle body?
