Oil Sensor Locations

There is a diagram in the Self Study Program but it is of such poor quality as to be useless, that is why when I rebuilt that one last year I made copious notes and took lots of pictures. When I was struggling with the CAVD, I drilled and tapped the banjo bolt for M10x1 so I could monitor the oil pressure as close to the oil filter outlet as possible as the pressure sender on the head is almost at the end of the system and shows the pressure at its lowest, in fact a full 2 Bar lower than at the turbo. A problem with sensing the temperature at the turbo is finding a sensor that will not impede oil flow so perhaps drilling and tapping in the (removed!) timing chain case would be better.
Hey Crasher
Can you tell me where the engine oil pressure sensor is on a 2012 vw Golf TSI please.
