I bought my 2G and immediately put indiglo gauges. I don't know if I screwed up my oil pressure gauge. But what are peoples readings? (preferably from people who do not have indiglos). I know stock gauges are inaccurate but mine seems to fluctuate big time.

Cold Start Up: slightly below midpoint
Warm idle: barely 1/4 up
High boost: 3/4 up

At warm idle, soemtimes it is only 1/8 up. Then if I hit the gas to about 3000 rpm, itgoes up to slightly below midpoint and falls back to 1/8.

Did I break my gauge? Or is my oil pressure really messed up? Shouldn't oil pressure be constant at idle?
