------- oil pump
I blew my oil pump or something yesterday. I was getting the car ready for inspection, when I the intake cam jump timing 180deg. the timing belt was on tight, so I dont understand why it did.
then I took the car for a spin, and noticed I werent boosting so I took it to 7800rpm to make sure that the turbo is just laggy and may need some motivation, but did not get nothing but spool up sound and a 0 vac on the boost gauge (thank god for that.) havent figured where the leak is yet.
so then I took my eyes off the boost gauge and look at the oil pressure gauge, and it was at 25psi, so I press the gas to see if it would raise it stays the same, then I took the car home let it idle and it was idling at 5 psi. I have too oil pressure gauges, one electrical for the engine, and a mechanical for the turbo, and they both read the same,even when I turned the needle valve up on the mechanical one. hope I did not mess up my motor by driving it on 25psi of oil pressure.
I should have listen to my freind when he told me not to use the lightweight crank pulley, now I am out $150 for a new oil pump, and searching for a oem pulley. hope thats all that needs to be replaced.

Re: ------- oil pump
some forum racing light weight pulley. did not have a stock one, so I used it and never got around getting a stock one. I hope not, I went 5 miles on it, I was trying to see how much I need to retune my maps

generally rule of thumb is 8psi of oil pressure per 1000rpm
so i your case 25psi, 3,125rpm

8000rpm = need ~64psi oil pressure
