FB Black feed line/oil pressure/temp sender install location issues

So i am in the process of planning a FP Black install and I cannot figure out where to relocate the oil pressure/temp gauge senders. I want to get rid of my sandwich plate and install like this:


However, that is the port FP tells you to use for turbo oiling. Is there any way around this. With the install above there will be no way to run the oil feed line to the turbo. I assume I will have to find a new spot for the senders, but where? Is the only way to tap the pan for the temp sender?

Thanks for the input.

First off, mounting the temp sender like that with the brass fittings is asking for it. The weight of the sender combined with harmonic vibrations, the fitting will break and oil will be going everywhere in short order. Get a remote line for it and mount it to the firewall.

Then do a similar setup with a remote line, and T the OP switch in the back of the block with your temp sender. It is above the xfer case a bit below the knock sensor, closer to the transmission side.

Thanks for the response. I purchased the AMS remote line a few days ago to mount the pressure sensor away from the engine. That picture was from a DIY i found.

Would the temp sensor still work in the position you suggest? If you T it off it would be away from the block right?
