i have just got a auto gauge electrical oil pressure gauge and i was just wondering where you fit the sender on a escort rs turbo s2 thanks

The sender can be fitted in the middle of the sump plug but you need a special sump plug for this. I have the mechanical kind which fits on the back of the block via a t piece where the oil pressure switch fits.

You shouldn't really fit the pressure sender in the sump nut, if anything temperature can go there. Better for temperature is a proper boss welded into the sump, but of course that can't be done with the sump fitted.

Anyway, regarding pressure, best bet is to get a brass t-piece and fit it where the factory oil pressure switch is.

They are inexpensive and can be bought from places like Demon Tweeks.
