you should get the senders that were on the Porshe. Don't know where on 
the motor they would be, but they should be just like the ones in VW's. 
Is it a 150C water temp gauge?, if so then the sender that you have in 
your car will work. The pressure sender should be either on the head, or 
on the oil filter flange. I think VDO made only two kinds of pressure 
senders. I'm NOT sure of that, though. You should convert the max 
reading on the kP/cm2 gauge to PSI and see if it matches 80 PSI or 150 
PSI. Those senders are widely available through tuners.

I know that autotech makes these, and there are others too. New 
Dimensions has a few to choose from. Or you could just try to make your 
own. Not that hard, just a rectangle, with 3 holes in it.

wow, an audi with all the door handles on, that's a bit of a find.
