Oil Pressure Connection

Hello everyone, I am planning on installing a mechanical oil pressure gauge and was wondering where would be a good place to tap into the engine. Thanks ;D

There is a plug on top of where the oil filter screws into, you can tap in there.

I put one on top of my oil filter housing - plenty of room and you see how quick oil starts running to your turbo.
