Oil Pressure Gauge

Any idea if there is another place to take a feed for an oil pressure gauge apart from at the pressure switch with a T piece, engine is a 300Tdi.
Cars years ago always another plugged tapping along an oil gallery, not sure if Tdi has anything similar.
Thanks in advance......

If it don't smell of gunpowder or Castrol R it ain't worth doin'!

I find with the pressure gauge you dont really need an oil light switch as well, you soon get used to scanning all the dials  on a regular basis, and you can monitor any drop through it
