Oil Press. HIGH!! after turbo swap
 
I swaped from a t25 to 14b and I changed my oil with 0w-40 moible 1
I used to use 15w-50 and it was fine. I let my car run for about 1/2 and even drove it around and the oil pressure is reading at 100+(all the way up). The weird thing is that the guage was working fine 3 weeks ago. any ideas? I'm planning on taking my oil drain from tubo off to see if oil is going thru the turbo. I thought that maybe something might have plugged the oil line but My tubo hasn't froze up yet, so it must be getting oil to it.

Figured it out, stupid me forgot to reconnect the ground wire for my oil sensor, so thats why it was going all the way up to 100+.
