I am using a sandwich plate adapter between the oil filter and the oil cooler to monitor mine but the readings I seem to get are a bit hot !! I dont know if the exhaust down pipe maybe influencing the readings as it is quite close to the oil temp sender gauge. they can be irratic and altered by other things in most other places. Mine will sit at 90 degrees whilst just pottering around of boost, between 95-100 degrees on boost in town and between 100-110 degrees on the motorway with very little effort to be honest! This is because i've a new oil-cooler to fit which means removing the sandwich plate that's on there now. In any case I too have been informed that the sump is the most accurate place to take the reading from 
thats the readings Im getting. How are you going to mount it in the sump ?? Are you going to utilise the sump drain plug and use and adapter or drill another hole and mount it that way ?? But it proved to hard to find something in the UK market although I believe they are availible in Japan. In any case, I think the probe would have been likely to get damaged after time due to oil changes every 3000 miles
