There is 2 ways you can putt the pressure gauge...
1st: You can buy a T-piece and you bolt it where the oil pressure swich is...
2nd: You buy a sandwich that it's bolted where the oil filter is (like the oil cooler sandwich) and it has holes to bolt the sensor (this way is recomended when you have 2 oil sensors oil temp and pressure) so you can put in future a oil temp sesnor without drilling the oil sump...

Why not just wait till your oil cooler kit arrives?  How long can it take?
