Angry Oil pressure relief valve

Need further assistance........
2005 Passat engine finally back together and in car, new balance shaft assembly, new rings, brgs, seals, gaskets, etc
0.002 to 0.0025 clearances in rods and mains--checked all w/pasti-gauge
FYI--found eng brgs, (rods/mains) at Rock Auto--order in States they will send from their European counterparts--prices very reasonsable
Back to BHW, engine started very well, no unusual noises
Went for test drive, no noises, oil light flashed returned to workshop
Installed master oil pressure gauge, oil pressure 3-4 PSI at idle, 22-25 at 3,000 RPM (POOP!!!)
Spec is 7-8 PSI at idle, 30+ psi at 3000 RPM

Where is oil pressure releif valve?
In the oil pump, or in the oil filter housing (bracket)?
.........other solutions are very, very welcome

Lastly
How does oil pressure light operate?
Does it only come on above XX MPH?
