Cylinder head, at the rear of the head is a blanking plug in each oil gallery, also at front but pulley is in the way here.
T piece on the turbo oil feed pipe, machine jackshaft/auxillary cover and tap into oil gallery there, take a tapping on the other side of the head in the centre of the oil gallery.
Loads more places if using oil cooler ie sandwich plate or pipe.

best thing imo a sandwichplate between the oil filter and filter arm to the block bit. They usually have a couple of connections so whilst your at it fit an oil temp one too. That way i know then once the oil is up to normal running temps i can put my foot down safely.
