Pluming a turbo oil supply: advice needed

Pluming a turbo oil supply: advice needed
First off, i'm turboing my na so i need to make an oil supply (i have the oil drain covered already). I basically figured I had 2 options to take the oil from, the oil pressure sender hole in the rear iron or the oil filter pedistal (would need an RB adaptor). After talking with a few different people they figured it would be best to tap the oil from the pressure sender, except theres a problem, the pressure sender uses 1/8" BSPT NOT NPT. Now I've found adapters for 1/8" male BSPT to 1/8" female NPT, but I can't seem to find a 1/8" male NPT to femal BSPT, which is what I would need to remount the sender.
Questions...
1. Is it worth the trouble finding fittings to tap the oil sender for the turbo, or should I just go with the (bigger hole size) filter pedistal method?
2. If yes to the oil sender above, where can I find the male NPT to female BSPT fitting?
Thanks
EDIT: dang I spelled plumbing wrong

I wouldnt tap a hole unless the engine is apart and you can clean it after.
Hmmm, noone has the fitting? I would check some of the NA-turbo threads, maybe some of those guys posted how they did it.

Have you called your local hydraulic store? These fittings should be in stock at any good store.
Failing that, you can always just use the filter pedestal method.
