Default Coolant Pressure sensor placement

I'm considering feeds for my upcoming Haltech install where I am piggybacking the factory ECU to pass inspection. Drive head has oem temp sensor. Passenger head has the haltech temp sensor. What is a good option for placing a pressure sensor?

Do like the Dewitts coolant temp sensor for fan. They have a short 4 or 5 inch metal tube with raised lip on each end. Cut radiator hose, slip on tube and you clamp hose back on each side. The sensor is screwed into that metal tube. I cut my top hose on the straight part where the alternator is. Simple.

That makes sense. I used a filler neck as shown there on a friend's truck. Tapped bung is perfect.
