i switched over to the BPR7ES plugs and re-routed the pcv valve, i was running 17lbs of boost and i was opening her up and i lost oil pressure the gauge went down to the halfway mark, so i came back, let the car cool, shut it down and checked the oil, it had plenty, Will checked under the car for oil, there wasnt ne but for some reason when i baby the car i get my oil pressure back and when i get on it, it drops down to the halfway mark, could that be because of the pcv re-route since its just constantly open i Really don't think thats the problem but its a guess, also my oil cap is still leaking, even though i have no pcv valve so i dunno what the hell is up with that. ALso at idle i barely have NE oil pressure, any ideas??
 
I think i might have came up with my own solution, i havent changed the oil in about 2,000 miles since i installed the new turbo, maybe i should change it??
 
My oil pressure never goes above half way anymore. At idle, it sits down at almost nil. Ive come to accept it. Its been like that for months and so far I havent been given any reason to worry yet. I think Im gonna replace the oil pressure switch and see if that helps.

Agreed....My gauge was showing almost no to very low pressure...looked underneath and oil was all over that retarded engineered connector. Cleaned it, put a rubber boot around it and fixed my oil leak and my pressure gauge actually worked for once :D
