Looking to make a T to measure Oil psi at turbo

I need a t or some contraption that will allow me to measure oil psi at the turbo.

The turbo fitting has to be a 12x1.5 fitting, i am using a 12x1.5 to -4an fitting with the -4an side milled and a nitrous jet as a restrictor so what ever T i come up with also has to accept a 12x1.5 fitting as to measure the oil psi after the restrictor.

Any ideas, just wondering because i ruptured my brain looking at industrial sites for fittings.

Thanks
Aaron

Make an adapter. I'd think the pressure there wouldn't be very much since it's going from high pressure to very low (the drain tube).

Get an inline AN fiitting with some sort of female NPT fitting.

Basically, it'd go in line of your AN feed line, and has a NPT outlet and connect a gauge or whatever.

Thanks for the effort I found the perfect contraption for less than $15.
