I run my oil temp probe right next to drain plug. You may want to reconsider plugging that hole. Oil temp is the first thing that gets out of hand on a turbo GT-S.

nah its all good, i was being stupid and didnt realize it was the drain hole lol. but im thinkin to run 3 gauges, boost, air/fuel, and either egt or oil pressure, oil temp wasnt even in my mind :(

When you say air/fuel, I hope you mean wideband O2. A regular AFR gauge is worthless. Oil temp will be more important to see ono a turbo car than oil pressure.

Narrow band is worthless. Also an EGT gauge, just get a good Wideband, and Oil Temp unit. I run the PLX R300, very nice little unit. It replaces the factory Narrowband unit to, so now drilling needed.
