water temperature sensor into black top

Hi,
Maybe a stupid question, I've got my extra instruments from tiger, Water temperature and oil pressure.
I've got a Black Top (evo3) 2.0L engine, now is my question does anyone knows the place to put the water temperature sensor into the engine???
Ive found a place in the cylinder head at the right side near the cambelt cover, but I don't known if it's a water channel.
regards JP

In the black thermostat housing at the rear of the engine.

Hint: A silvertop one has better size fitting and bolts straight up.

There are two tappings in the thermostat housing on the back of the engine. The one on top is intended for the ECU coolant temp sensor and the one down low on the left for the temp gauge sensor. Different threads.
