How Low Is Too Low (Oil Pressure)
 
Question for you guys ... At idle Ive been worried that my oil pressure inline to my turbo is a bit low. Ive read that oil line sticky in this forum, but I just want to be sure.

At idle Im getting about 6psi of oil pressure to my 16G turbo. At full boost Im seeing about 60 - 65 psi ... does that seem normal to you guys.

Thanks,
Zach

oil pressure is overrated. :P



A turbo only needs very low oil pressure so your all right

Does anyone know approximately where to set an oil pressure valve? Like the ones from Stealthmode? I doubt I can get a gauge in there, its pretty cramped as is.

I got the restrictor from him as well but ---- that sucker is all the way open and im getting only 10psi at idle about 35psi or so when im driving around. It bumps up a lil bit when its WOT... I dunno Im kind of worried about mine as well...

You really shouldn't make any adjustments without a gauge. You can put the gauge on the inlet of the turbo than take it off after the adjustments are made
