If you look at my build thread, linked in signature, you can see that I have mine done very similarly to your existing condition. The only major different is I also have my turbo oil supply take off teed in too.
Yes mine is very similar except that mine extends toward the rad a bit longer.. And since the roads where I am are garbage I worry about the shock on the thread from the leverage of the sensors when I hit bumps... I may just be paranoid.

Nothing wrong with being paranoid when it comes to safety. Mine is pretty stout and I also have a ZSpeed undershroud to protect everything!
