I don't have a pic, but....

I installed mine right on top of the oil filter mount; there's an 1/8" NPT fitting there that is intended to be used as the oil pressure test port. Also, there's plenty of room for it!

That would be the easiest place to get the pressure reading. I know that's where I connected my pressure gauge.

there is also a pair of M10x1.0 orb ports/plugs on the the left side of the engine that come off the main lube oil gallery/cam bearings... i have mine there.. there is a ~2-3 psi pressure differential from there to the filter pad...

one plug is above ecm, one is below/behind cp3 [also on same gallery is factory switch and extra m14x1.5 port blocked by fuel filter assembly/bracket]
