Default 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.

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

but the oil pressure sensor should be where the stock sensor is... you dont have much oil pressure on the turbo oil fiding lines
