Oil Pressure Sender on Engine Head

I just installed an EF4 on my Evolution IX, the turbo install kit uses an oil line that attaches to the oil filter housing, which is where I had my oil pressure sender installed. Now, I have nowhere to install the pressure sender, I was wondering if I could use the old oil turbo line plug on the engine head?
Maybe using a line like this? http://www.amsperformance.com/cart/A...Unit-Line.html

I heard plenty of bad reviews using a sandwich plate on the oil filter housing, so I would like to stay away from that. Anyone has any good ideas?

Thanks

There is more than 1 port on the oil filter housing-use one for the turbo and one for the pressure sensor.

I forgot to mention that I have a temperature gauge on the other port.

put temperature in the oil pan where it should be. taking a pressure reading at the head is not accurate.

Are both plugs on the oil filter housing the same size?
I could get the ams oil pressure line, with a T adapter for the oil pressure and oil temperature.
Could that work?
