The cabby system is kinda detailed but its not what your thinking about.
(or is it?) Its got a high/low pressure differential switches. 
There should be one oil pressure sensor on the oil filter flange and the
second goes to the head. (There's also an oil temp sensor on the oil
filter flange as well.) You can make a tee fitting to get pressure from
the drivers side of the head and plug in the stock switch and the added
switch. I've seen a GTi with a temp switch there (I dunno why since the
oil Doesn't flow.) but the oil pressure switch should work fine there in
conjunction with the stock switch.
HTH!
