Default Location of ECT and water temp sensors?

just got my ECT, ACT and water temp sensor set from Mat Lewis and i was wondering where the ECT and water temp sensor are actually located? The 500 inlet makes it a pain to see anything!

ACT is in the plenum cover face, brown in colour you will soon see it.
ECT is under the pipe from rear of head/induction side, bitch to get to, probably easier from underneath ?
WATER TEMP sensor, I assume this is the gauge one, if so around the area of the front of head turbo side near the coolant feed pipe to turbo, got "L" shaped boot terminal on it, don't over tighten!!

ECT can make a world of difference if yours is out of reading, as can act but to a much lesser degree.
