Typically it's a T fitting on the port for the stock oil pressure sending unit.
If you'd like, you can get coolant from the heater line that runs across the ehaust manifold.

it's a bitch to get to the oil pressure sensor also :P Back of the engine, you'd never guess anything was there buried in all that crap.
Wow water cooled also, can a turbo get too hot? Man I wish they made a hood similar to the EVOs hood for us, damn civic get them why can't someone make one for us, it's not like they have a turbo to kool down anyway.
