OK The magic question. Is there a way to get a wrench on the oil pressure valve cap with out taking the oil filter housing off the engine? You can see the silly thing but so far every wrench I have tried is too big to fit in.

I went with the truck housing to get more room from turbo to oil filter so less heat soak on the filter (and also able to run a bigger filter) but the truck spring must be weaker. No other changes and lost about 20psi but it is dead steady.
 
I had to Dremel away the part of the timing belt cover that was in the way. You can also just take off the timing belt cover. I had to use a needle nose vice-grip to loosen the spring cap with the timing cover still on.
