Re: finally turbo'd after over a year.

any idea why my oil pressure is going high and sometimes low.

also i bought one of those cheap oil pressure gauges on here and it lights up but doesnt work as far as a reading.

Your oil pressure shouldnt rise and drop unless your engine speed changes. Something is wrong if it does, It took you a year to all of that? Jesus .... do it again and do it at least half assed.

Re: finally turbo'd after over a year.

it took so long because the car was my daily driver. so i was taking everything out and working and then putting it all back together to drive.
you dont get a lot done that way.
