Spoke to monkfish and had a reply from magnuson's Facebook asking questions about two of the sensors and they answered and made no mention that it wasn't a magnuson so I'm assuming it is haha
It has no labels or markings to identify it haha

I'd have to disagree on that, I'm in complete awe of some of the turbo builds on here!
Depends on your taste, I bet there's people out there who don't quite agree what I've done haha

I spent 2-3 hours measuring all sorts of possible solutions and the most simple and "elegant" one was the one I went with.
It's not the best job but I kinda like the way it looks haha

The picture is actually quite deceptive, I'll measure how much it sticks out tomorrow

Thank you very much!
