Get a sandwich plate with a take off point. Then if you decide to fit an oil pressure gauge/temp gauge/oil cooler you have a place to plumb em in aswell.

so if i get an oil filter relocation kit i can take it of the plate where the oil filter goes into the block?

Usually a T piece off the oil pressure switch.

Just be careful on the oil pressure. The TU engines run over spec for many turbos so you cant just plumb some in with out regulation on the oil pressure with out it being restricted.

ok cheers thanks for the help! :)

Yep, usual take-off place is the oil pressure switch which is T'd into. Then reduce oil pressure with suitable orifice / banjo restrictor.

is the oil pressure switch the one at the back of the block?

It's in the middle of the block at the front, as near to the oil filter as the alternator is
