If I tap the huge banjo bolt and put a T there, can that be used to get oil pressure/oil temp? yes/no?
Sorry for the theft of the pic, it's a FD, but the FC system is similar with the bolt located lower... correct?

Why not just get on of these from racing beat or mazdatrix.
The Oil Pressure and Temperature Adapter :allows easy installation of these sender units for most popular gauges (1/8-inch female pipe for oil pressure and 3/8-inch female pipe for oil temperature). It will accommodate both mechanical or electrical senders. The adapter mounts immediately below the oil filter assembly and includes all necessary O-rings. Gauges, senders, and adapter nuts are not included. The normal oil pressure in a stock Mazda rotary is approximately 71 psi above 3,000 RPM, (110 psi above 3,000 RPM in the 1993-95 RX-7) and should never drop below 15 psi at idle (use a 0 to 125 psi gauge).

Didn't I explain this to you in the other thread? You'll be fine, just keep the T as short as possible.
