Weird oil pressure / Can't accelerate...

[AWDTalonDE]

After driving on the highway for an hour in the rain, I noticed on the way back home that my oil pressure was dropping. It would be below the first knick so I checked my oil level and it was fine. I decided to just continue the drive home and eventually the pressure would build back up every so often.

The next day I tried driving and if my foot is on the gas like 1/4 throttle its fine and the turbo spools/blows off like normal. If I put some real gas to it the car starts to spool for a couple seconds that sputters and it feels like fuel cut.

Do keep in mind I still have to get my car tuned and every so often on random startups my car will always hit fuel cut under WOT.

I really don't think that is the issue though as my car was running well and it seems to have to do with the oil pressure.

hmm I think part of the intercooler popped off, could this possibly effect oil pressure?

The oil pressure thing was most likely your sending unit getting wet and messing with the electrical connection. I have to say that of all the designs of cars and their sensors, Mitsubishi did a horrible job on their oil sending unit placement and design. Your second problem sounds dead on like a boost leak.

Ugh, this is all more than annoying because I just moved to MD and have no tools what so ever. I just went to jiffylube to get my oil changed, and the pressure is still reading low at sometimes/ randomly goes up and down. The oil also has bubbles in it but I think that may be because they put too much in? 10W30 synthetic.
