Re:Oil Pressure!
Is there dark black smoke coming out of the exhaust? Too much oil pressure to the turbo can lead to premature failure of the oil seals in the turbo. It doesn't need a whole lot of pressure, just enough to supply oil.

Re:Oil Pressure!
Those kits come with the right size -4 oil line that would drop the pressure enough so that it wouldn't wear the seals down. They are also NEW turbos in the kits.

Re:Oil Pressure!
I would just get the -4 line and not worry about it. If it smokes than I guess you will need a valve thingy ma-bobber. I haven't had any problems with my -4.
