oil pressure?

Any boosted f23s out there, what oil pressure readings are you seeing?

My gauge is reading 65psi @idle and 105@WOT. I think there is a wiring problem but want to make sure this isnt right before I tear back into it.

I did a custom dual gauge pod on the steering column but I cant post pics until tomorrow. Hate to keep everyone waiting.

No I was right in saying 65 and 105 psi. I think its just a bad gauge since a friend of mine has the same one and his does a full sweep before settling on 40 psi. Also when the car is in the on position it should be at 0 but my needle points to 40. Calling the manufacture Monday to see about getting a replacement.

Alight. When you first start the car cold it should read in the 60 psi range.
When warm and at idle you should read no less than 10 psi
At 3000k normal is 50 psi

Thanks for the info, hopefully I can work it out with Glow Shift tomorrow.

I know you cant see below about 20mph on the dash but who cares, I don't. This was also my first time playing with fiberglass which turned out to be a pain to work with. After a lot of time sanding and using filler to try and make everything smooth I discovered textured paint at Walmart. They only carry a few colors so I had to spray it black after the textured paint dried. I have to admit I am pleased with the results but would like to get some input from everyone.

Here are some pics of the install.

The guage pod is very cool, I wouldn't like it blocking my guages, but the work you did is awesome, nice work
