I dont have a pic handy right now but I drilled out the water temp idiot light and had the female AN fitting tig welded into the manifold. For the oil PSI I went into the brass block that feeds the turbo and ran the line along the hard coolant lines then across the rear of the intake and through the fire wall.

Yeah thats the one . For the oil psi, I took out the stock sensor and replaced it with braided line.
