    S54 Oil filter housing/ oil cooler/ sensors

    I picked up one of Turner Motorsports oil cooler kits with the modified S54 housing.

    The two front ports are modified to run to an oil cooler, the back port that was once an M12 x 1.5 was modified for the vanos oil line leaving one M12 x 1.5 port for both oil temp and pressure sensors.

    I'd like to run one of the sensors with a -10 fitting in oil line, but all I can find is a -10 with a 1/8" NPT fitting (Russell 670360), and can't seem to find a 1/8 NPT (male) to M12 x 1.5 (female) adapter.

    For those running the Turner kit how are you mounting both sensors?

    I may end up returning the filter housing, getting the un-modified version and buying Randy's adapter block, but I'm trying to avoid returning anything.

    This is probably the solution:

    Is that a really good solution for oil temp?
    You would think that there wouldn't be any cross flow to get accurate oil temp, so the oil temp would read static heat instead of actual heat.
