No, you don't have to remotely mount the T, but I did. I just installed a fitting in the block, then ran a stainless line from the fitting in the block to the tunertoys T which I ziptied near the firewall. From the tunertoys T fitting I used the 3 ports for my autometer oil pressure gauge, turbo oil supply, and stock sender. That is what I prefered to do, but do as you wish.

here is where you mount it. -right above the oil filter.


this is the way it should look when completed.


there is also another port in the fitting to run a gauge or whatever you want out of that also. you can get the oil line kit from www.tunertoys.com or the stickey in the clasifides section of hmt. it has everything needed.
