Is there an easy location to get at a plug or port where I can put a 1/8" npt fitting for a oil pressure guage line?

I was hoping not to mess with the turbo oil line...

The easiest is to remove the existing sender and connect there; of course this disables the existing gauge. Some have put a "tee" there and run both old sender and new gauge.

BTW it's not as hard to get in there as it looks if you pull the upper intake/throttle body. Once you do that there's plenty of room.

HTH.
