Heyyyy ledies and gents... so i bought an oil presure gauge because... i felt like it, and I want to know where I put the little thingo (not very good at naming parts) I was reading there is one where the top mount is but I cant see shit and do not want to take the top mount off cause its is a pain in the ass to put back on and I will most likely swear my guts out and have the neighbors classify me as a demon spawn.... yeah. So if someone would like to tell me where hook the thingo what ever it is called I would much appreciate it. Thank you. :D

You have 2 options:
A sandwich plate on top of the oil filter. Eg mishimoto
An oil gallery plug as you mentioned.
These topics describe how to iirc:

Basically most senders (not the defi iirc) are too big to fit on the top rear bung, thus the need for a relocation kit...
Apparently the stock oil temp sensor bung under the alternator can be tee'd into, but iirc the rear location is preferred.
Some prefer the pressure reading from the oil filter location...
If you install a remote oil cooler one of the lines can be tee'd into as another option iirc...

To remove the bung use a quality (impact) Allen and if in doubt grinding paste to pack it out a little.
Or give it a technical tap before removing ;)

I've been having troubles with my hoses recently, I can take the top mount on/off in like 5mins each way now :) - harden up! top mount removal/reinstall is 1000x easier than the silicon inlet install.

I was about to say, TMIC removal/replacement is pretty damned easy, all things considered. :)
