Just replaced my turbo - 2 questions...

Last night during a very light snow in Southwest Virginia in my driveway because I don't have a garage, I completed the last steps of replacing the turbo on my '87 900 with 140K miles. My beloved Saab is a third car and with twin four years olds the repair took a couple months from start to finish. I ended up having my turbo rebuilt by Gary at TurboCity and they are great to work with.
Now for the questions...
#1 I can't remember, nor figure out, where the metal heat shield that is roughly 8" x 4" with a 90 degree turn in it should be mounted. There are two bolt holes for it and they are set at roughly 90 degrees to each other, but I can't find any two bolts that will secure it properly. If anyone can describe where it goes or even share a digital picture that will save me from having to ask a complete stranger to open their hood for me!
#2 I made sure to prime the oil inlet pipe before securing it so I know that the new oil is flowing through my car. For some reason the oil light on my dash came on solid for the first 15 minutes I was driving the car (after letting it idle for about 10 minutes). After another 10 minutes of driving the light still is mostly on but flickers. It is mostly solid at idle but flickers more if I rev the engine. Any thoughts on what might be happening? Might I have disturbed the oil pressure sensor? Do you think it is unsafe to drive at this point?
Thanks in advance for your feedback.
Regards,
Trevor
