Blank plug behind the alternator? There wasn't one on mine, 98 UK car, mine went into the hole the original OP switch came out of. You don't need a T-piece, just discard the OE switch, by the time it triggers, the engine is fekked anyway.
As for pressure: depends on your engine. Mine, newly rebuilt 2.5 conversion, ticks over at 4 bar cold and goes to 7.5 bar when running. It shows 3 bar on tickover hot and 6 bar running hot. That's with relatively thin running in oil in it, Carlube.
Oil temp: the sender goes in the place of the blanking plug on top of cylinder No3, the rear cylinder, driver's side. Look down in front of the intercooler: the plug is about 25mm across and has an 8mm socket head in it. You need a LONG Allen key to remove it. The hole it comes out of isn't 25 mm, the plug is wide at the top. You MAY need an adaptor though, ask whoever sold you the gauges. My adaptor was about £8. DO NOT overtighten, and DO use PTFE tape around threads.
Temps range from 90 degrees running normal, to just over 100 at high speed long distance. My highest showed 125, but the engine had just lost it's big end bearings
