You could put a T on the dof line and add your sensor there. There is also a thread on rennlist on how to run a vdo temp gauge off the built in temp sensor in the sump, for 996 cars. Someone linked it here a while back.

I would strongly recommend against doing this.

If you want to use aftermarket senders for pressure and/or oil temperature, I'd suggest getting a spin on filter adaptor and drilling and tapping it for the senders, providing they are small enough to fit.

I actually have one I was going to use for some a/b testing, I will sell it for half price, comes with the vdo temp sender and also an oil pressure sender (although the oil.pressure hangs out enough that I would be worried about vibration, but the oil temp is small enough that I would not be worried)

If you are interested I will dig it out.

Agreed, I would not share with the DOF. I like the oil filter adapter idea.
