I know how to fit defi's, fitted my own in a few hours. Oil pressure and oil temp sensors are in a sandwich plate between oil filter and engine on mine (makes sence to do an oil change at this point) and boost is off the dump valve pipe, all wires run back to the control box inside. Guess there is minor differences with different makes. What gauges do you have fella? And do you have all the required sensors, pipes and wiring?

Easy I fitted my own (kinda... Finn started I finished). Run oil temp from front cylinder oil pressure from rear cylinder boost is easy don't try and run both from the adaptor.

You also have to strip the inter cooler off to get at the back blank for the oil temp and the alternator off to get at the pressure switch

Didn't realise this Finn and hardy, never had a problem with the sandwich plate but now I think about it though it makes more sense as it will be more accurate, gives me a good excuse to get my tools out and tinker under the bonnet tho ha! Should be able to remove the sensors from the sandwich plate and add them to the remote adapters right?

Should be more accurate but biggest thing is less chance of leaks

When I did the gauges on my Terzo I used a company called JJC, not sure if they are the best prices but had everything I needed inc senders and adapters.
As mentioned tho, sandwich plate is a no no, it's not too bad to get to the plug above No' 3 so long as you have the right tools.
