Just use a block fitting that takes both the oil pressure switch and the temp sender, about £6 or so from the bay, if the block also feeds the turbo from the end of the fitting with it being a hex bar, on some there is enough depth to drill and tap for the extra temp sender.
Or you could drill and tap the sump plug and put there, if it's a 1/8NPT temp sender like most are, I can do this FOC for you, just pm me.
