Im using 10w30 is that okay?

I have the gauge connected on the feed line to the turbo.and my turbo feed line is connected to the front of the block.

The reading goes up to 60 psi while on throtle.



Could it be that I'm using a vinyl line instead of a stainless line to the guage?



Also I have a super small leak on the feed line that I will fix today.



As for the 14.6 on the wide band, my down pipe is broken before the sensor do you guys think that would send a wrong number?

 

The break would definitely affect the reading

 

awesome I'm fixing everything by the end of the week..,ill let you guys know how it goes.



Thanks everyone for your help.

 

Try getting your oil pressure reading from the right side of the head, that'd be what your top end is seeing. If your feed line has a restrictor, it might have an artificially low reading.

 

What do you mean by a restriction on the feed line?

 

Some turbos need a restrictor so you don't blow the oil out the seals IN the turbo.

 

Oh sh*t I didn't know that, how do I find out if it does or not?

 

Usually with a mechanical gauge you either use nylon or copper line. Vinyl will explode with 60 psi.

 

Well the gauge def. Went to 60psi then it started to leak, I'm getting a stainless line tomorrow which is better than both I think.

 

This has the words 'EPIC FAIL' written all over it. Stick with a sticker that says 'Turbo' and stay away from the real thing..lol
