The oil system should be a fairly steady pressure throughout, so sender positioning should be irrelevant?

Pump is actually bloody close to the oil filter so lol Its under really high pressure and its like that through most of the system. That should be fine though.

Dont get it mate i got one of those and found out theres only certain ways the oil pressure and oil temp will fit in without driveshaft hitting a sensor or fouling on the oil feed to turbo its a pain tbh, i took the oil pressure switch out and got a flex pipe and fitting to go in the hole ill get a pic up and a link to them

this goes in the side of block to replace oil switch: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280606204270

this comes off the fitting and mount your sensors on the end and tie them high up behind engine: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370461865949
