Default low oil pressure @ idle?0psi?b18a

low oil pressure @ idle?0psi?

after it warms up
sometimes its 5...then sometimes ZERO

if its really ZERO wouldnt the stock sender flash a oil light?

oil levels are good

i read while searching that
if you T off the line going to the turbo it will show<10psi

here is my setup
i hope its readable

happeneds to mine and it has ---- up bearings. At least take the cap off and check before its too late.
I ran mine for two years, a year without boost and a year boosted, sold it to some kid then i bought the motor back after it locked up LOL. all the main and rod bearing are "smashed" LOL

Switch the oil line to the turbo with the oil pressure sending unit. theres to much flow going past the sender an out to the turbo. You may also have a faulty sender.
