Need help locate where to tap in oil pressure sensor ??

Hi guys
I bought some gauges and one of them is Oil pressure sensor.

I have to look for the place where I can jam in the T-connector to tap in for pressure.

I have n54 that has no oil cooling type on the oil filter section.
which is look like this.



Not like this



Please advise me where will be the most convenience way to tap for oil pressure.




If someone wonder why I need oil pressure gauge , I got answer for you right now. I'm doing it for show and I like to see my pressure go up and down.
No reason regarding performance. So please don't be offense on that

European auto source has a little T fitting that you screw in where the stock oil pressure is so you can run oem and aftermarket.

Kinda pricey for just a fitting tho. Can I just use any T-fitting ?
What threads is that ? They call 1/8" ?

Stock fitting is M12 x 1.5 thread. Good luck finding an off the shelf adapter that fits in that tiny area.

It already has a nice sender, why go backwards with an analog gauge and worry about oil leaks inside the car?

Couldn't you just tap those wires off that sender? At least put a voltmeter on them and see what it's putting out.
