1G aftermarket sensor location

[TK9er]

Hey, I just got an Innovate digital oil pressure/temp gauge. I am wanting to keep my stock gauges so it looks a little better (i don't want a dead gauge on my dash). So, my question is, where to locate the sensors... There are several filter housing plugs and I was hoping to use them. I don't think the temp probe location will matter, but i was wondering if the pressure sensor could be an issue. I know the plugs are a 3/8 BSPT (correct me if i'm wrong...) so i found some 3/8 BSPT male to 1/8 NPT female plugs to go in there place. Just looking for some feed back. I'm including a picture to show where the locations are. Thanks!

Nothing wrong with doing what you've proposed. What are your concerns?

Yep, what you have drawn up is fine. Just so you know, the outlet you have circled for "Temp" is the "clean, filtered" tap and the others are unfiltered, pre-filter taps.

Thanks for the input. I was mainly concerned that I might restrict something, and that i wouldn't be getting a reliable source for the pressure. I remember reading somewhere that if you are too close to the pump, it can mess with it a bit. I figured right next to the factory sensors couldn't be wrong. The filtered/nonfiltered shouldn't make a difference. I just want a good and safe location for my sensors! Dudes, I am so excited. I am getting so close to dropping in my engine!
