Have a look at www.chiark.co.uk
Also, oil temp is usually taken via the blanked off tapping on top of No.3 cylinder, which is at the rear of the engine, o/s.
You can see the blanking plug, which has an 8mm allen key hole in it, if you look down in front of the intercooler, but removing i/c makes it easier to see and get at. You'll need a LONG 8mm hex key, and an adaptor for whatever sender you have, probably best bought from wherever the gauges came from.

The boost gauge on mine was taken from an unused outlet (inlet?) on the front n/s of the inlet manifold, on my '98 UK car it had a rubber sleeve over it.

Just as a side note, the oil temp on my car is done in the sump, the sump nut is now and adapter for the sender, i dont think it matters hugely where the temperature comes from, you just have to get used to what an ideal oil temperature when warm is for your car and then not push it until its nice and warm
