I am adding a fuel & oil presure, and water temp gauges. Where is the best place to make place the senders? Fuel I belive the front of the filter housing has a test port, but the others I have no idea. Pics are worth a thousand words.

Oil pressure you can drill and tap the top of the oil filter cap...that's what I did. Just use an OEM type connector so you can separate the wires for filter changes.

Water temp...there's a block drain plug on the driver side of the block...easy to spot. You'll lose all your coolant though...so be prepared for that.
Mine is tapped into a t-fitting for my coolant filter.

I read somewhere that the block plug was not an accurate place to get coolant temps from? The oil pressure on the top of the filter cap, I have seen this but was hoping for a plug somewhere?

I don't know how accurate it is...just throwing the option out there for a mounting spot. I didn't use that plug myself.
As for the oil...I looked everywhere I could...and couldn't find a good spot to mount my oil temp and oil pressure senders....so I got the billet cap from Oilguard and used the 1/8NPT hole in that to T off the senders. No issues so far.

I think I am going to use the block plug for water temp, to start out with, and see how it acts. From what I read I will get some high spikes. Just have to wait and see I guess.

The oil pressure sender I see two options from what I read, one is what you did (seems to be the most popular) or putting a T fitting in where the stock pressure sender is, next to the oil filter.

Got trans guage problem fixed. Loose ground at guage.

But why is my pyro readings so low. Mounted before turbo and only hits about 700 with pedal buried to about 85. Runs about 500 at 65 on level ground no load. Seems slower to react than my previous guages. Check all connections and everything looks good.
