needle valve?
 
well i don't know if you all know or not but i have been burning oil for the longest time. I just installed the needle valve and and oil pressure guage yesterday. My questiong is can anyone tell me how much oil pressure my t25 dsm turbo should be getting at idle, regular driving, and full throttle so that i can adjust it.
Thanks

30psi full throttle is fine. the turbos dont need much oil pressure at idle.

ya i did i was wondering about at idle and ----. if i lower it to 30 at full throttle i'll be at around 5 at idol just wondering if that would be sufficient. Do you think you can answer that for me.

I tried looking for one at home depot... but came up with some crap i couldnt use....... go to Ace True Value hardware stores... its a lot smaller but they usually have what im looking for. just get the 1/8 to 1/8 needle valve.. its like 6 bucks.
