Temp sender goes on the sump plug and coolant sensor goes on your top radiator hose.

Re: water and oil temperature gauge install
Id run it through the grommet behind the battery. Not the main ecu one theres another one if u look for it. Im running two amp wires and a vacuum line for my vacuum gauge through there.

Re: water and oil temperature gauge install
There is a rubber gromet under your wiper motor on the fire wall. Pass the wires through the gromet, not around the side of it or they will rub on the metal and brake/earth out, the wires will come through into the front passenger floor, up next to the ECU. You will have to pull the carpet away, can be a little tricky to grab them.

Oil temp will come through the drivers side. There's a big rubber grommet up under the wheel arch, same sort as Phil was describing, as the oil temp sender will either be on the sump or the oil pump side of the engine.
I use Autometer gauges. A little exxy, but worth it IMO.
