i blew the stock turbo 2 weeks ago.......got a evoIII 16g.....got it installed, no problems, used the SBR 2g install kit......prepped it with oil first then started it........oil pressure was higher than before, jsut over the half way point on the stock gauge...figured this was because the turbo wasnt blown.......ran great for 2 days.........noticed the oil pressure gauge was very low........in fact the needle was all the wy at the bottom.......pulled over and checked the oil.....i had oil but it was a lil low.......checked for leaks again (been doing this daily since the install) no noticable leaks.......car runs great, boost creep is a bi*** but other than that there seem to be no problems.....no oil light.......but scared as shit to drive it now.........eyes are red adn blood shot from trying to find a thread on this.......found lots on low oil pressure but mine isnt low its non existant according to the gauge.........ill check it again in the morning and get back to u guys......taking the truck to work in the morning it looks like......night all
 
how long did you drive it like it, im thinking it could be your oil pump but im not 100% sure, because you have oil in it so you should have at least have a little presure. :thumb:
 
got up under the car this morning (i work 2nd shift so noon is my morning, LOL). couldnt see any signs of an oil leak.....no fresh oil anywhere.....no oil spots under the car......shit is trippin me out.......then i focus my eyes closer to my face and if it was a snake it woulda bit me..........damn line to the oil pressure gauge is hanging right in front of my face.......must have popped off......when i put it back on i noticed it wasnt on too well.....ill have to fix that.....but got in and chekced the oil........bam, right back up to normal........added some more cuz it was low and im right back on track.......

thanks
