i have one from cyberdyne
i T'd off of my stock oil pressure sender behind the block for the temp sender and mounted the gauge on a pillar pod
cold reading of course depends on outside temp
but after running (my gs is turboed also)
it has gotten up to 180-190F

I put the sensor in the oil pan. In the summer with 90 degree temps my oil temp got as high as 240. Which is a little warm I think. I'm going to put an oil cooler on it before spring.

I also put mine tee'd off the back of the block where my turbo line is and I read around 180-190, but I do also have a good sized oil cooler.

Get the weld-in bung and put it in your oil pan.

im going to install it on the back of the motor where the turbo oil line is.
