The oil temperature gauges on my turbo 1.8 liter and twin-turbo 2.7 liter
Audis were graduated in 25 degree increments. You should find the oil
stays between 200-225 degrees which is well within the specs. Synthetic oil
runs a bit cooler

If you add a sandwich or other remote base you will have the temperature
sensor located somewhere other than in the pan so will also get
"approximate" readings. Personally the only changes I have ever made to an
oil pan was when I was racing and I brazed a larger sump to the bottom of
the pan to increase the oil capacity. I do not think I would do that again.

I don't think a few degrees are significant but if you are really concerned
with oil overheating then get a remote cooler and tee the sensor in-line.
Depending on the capacity you want it will run between $100-$200 for parts

If all you want is oil temp, why not clean an area on the pan below the
full-line, and epoxy or solder a fitting (pre-attached to sender) in place?

I think he wants to avoid dropping and drilling the pan. Or do you mean to
use the pan surface temperature rather than the oil itself?

I don't like to introduce problems, like adapters like an oil
cooler cause. Unless you plan on sustained high speed driving like the
Baja one thousand, then you don't need the headache. If you are then go
all the way and convert to a dry sump. Put your money in a four core
radiator, like the stock Corvette uses.
