We probably need another sensor on that side of the housing (hopefully in the future one each in the exhaust and intake ports).

You could be right. I am not used to looking at pressure curves for gasoline-fueled turbo engines. The valve opening on a piston engine is visible in the trace, even with their slow valve loft. Valve open actually looks a lot like the shift in the curve at 175 ATDC.
