For boost, you can T in right behind the intake manifold. There's a vacuum port back there.
You can get a sandwich adapter plate that's tapped for a sensor (for oil press. & temp).
What temp gauge did you get?

Yup boost has to be post throttle body so your gauge can see vacuum and boost.

I have a prosport sandwich plate, great quality. Most oil pressure senders and oil temp senders are 1/8NPT. May be different for your sender. What brand is everything?
