Default Oil sensor hole fo turbo drain?

I was looking at the oil level sensor to run my oil drain for my turbo. It reads regular level when the little magnet is touching the center piece. If i wired the magnet to the piece, is there any way that i can tap the wires into thinking that the sensor is working at operating level? I was just going ot remove the actual clip so i can run the line right through it.

Default turbo drain

Its really to low man... I am going threw the same thing you must have volume of oil ( #4 feed ) and #10 drain cannot be into engine oil .. I know it seems like a very easy spot but it needs to be above the oil so it can drain as fast as possible.

Here is what I did... BTW, I did a -12 drain. It is a little overkill but I'm not worried about overkill when it comes to a turbo drain.

I have my drain line running into the sensor hole. I haven't had any problems, but I do run a restrictor in the supply to the turbo.
