That gauge ought to be good enough (I'm actually thinking of the analog
coupe gauge here).

My old 83 5kt had one, just like my coupe and 90, it would get up to 100
C in typical driving.

The coupe settles at 130 when run in third at red line, the 90 will
creep up on long highway drives.

the 5kt would go to 150C and settle there when the turbo was glowing.

Nice information to have... the sender goes in the bottom of the oil
pump, btw.
