An oil temperature gauge was fitted to the very early cars. Check your local Porsche agent.
Have you tried a search? There have been a few discussions about oil temperature senders in the past.

To get a correct reading, you need to match the sender with the gauge... so you should get the sender from a GTI.

You should find that thread size is m14x1.5 (unless it's been re-drilled and re-tapped (which would be unusual  )) - http://www.924board.org/viewtopic.php?t=19406

The meter is VDO, 0-150 C celsius.
Can I also use an water temp. sender ?

924RACR is correct about the sensor. Being VDO you are in luck as I understand they all use the same sensor thermistors with identical temperature coefficients.
Check that your sump actually has a hole since my early one doesn`t, just a cast boss.
Then try:
