Re: 1st turbo setup and car won't start!!
 
ok i have another question i'm not sure about, when i run the engine at idle the a/m oil pressure gauge reads about 80psi and when i slightly rev the engine to say 2-3000rpms it jumps up to about 100psi... is that normal?? i have a tee off the back of the block with the oil feed line going to the left and the sender unit straight off the back. thanks again.

Idle should be like 40psi I think. I don't have a guage, but I'm 99.832% positive 80psi is much too high.

i got the oil pressure situation fixed, the car just needed to warm up, it idles at 12-15lbs like its supposed too. The car is at the exhaust shop right now getting the IC piping and the downpipe put on...i'll post some pics and maybe a vid when its done!!
