Hi. My oil pressure wire was cut when I first got the car so I have repaired it since then but the coupler still seems a little loose. But it still worked none the less. However, the other day, I changed the oil in the car and I noticed that the oil pressure is pegged on high constantly, it never fluctuates so I'm assuming its something with the guage/wiring. It also doesn't leak any oil, and the turbo still spools fine so it doesn't seem to be an actual pressure problem. Any help is appreciated.
 
:nono: Dont trust that stock gauge .. I wouldnt think too much into it. Buy an aftermarket electronic gauge. Your car will love you :)
 
Oh I know. Lol. I've been wanting some new gauges for awhile but unfortunately, I'm your average, broke, college student. I was just wanting to make sure it was only the gauge acting up. I mean, the car shows no physical signs of high oil pressure but just wanted a second opinion.
