Oil and Fuel Pressure Sensors

Edge Products finally came through with pressure sensors that can be added to my Edge Insight CS. I am picking them up at a local retailer on Thursday. The sensors have 1/8 NPT threads. Fuel pressure will be easy - I am going to buy the fuel filter cover from Geno's Garage that the sensor will thread right into. Now for the oil pressure. Are there any common/easy/reliable places for me to put the oil pressure sensor with these 1/8 NPT threads? I was wondering about some sort of T where the oil line goes into the turbo.
I just realized that I have no idea what the oil pressure range in my truck is. The sensor reads up to 100 psi. Is that adequate?

Truck is in the sig.
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.

I would use the test port on top of the oil filter housing for the oil sensor.

Thanks for the suggestion. I will take a look at the top of the oil filter housing and see if I can see the port you are referring to.
