Hrmrm. What oil are you running? What filter? I have a Mobil 1 filter, and
fresh Mobil 1 10w30. What rpm does your car idle? Mine jumps up to 10-11 if
I barely bump the throttle to just 1000rpms.

I am using an Stillen (made by SPI) *electrical* oil pressure gauge. My
sensor is on a relocation oil block that is made by Ben Rockwell over behind
the pass headlight. So the oil has to go through a SS braided teflon hose
from the stock sender location over to the relocation block which has the
stock sender, Stillen sender, and then a line out to the turbo.

I am hoping it's the gauge. But I am SERIOUSLY concerned. FSM states 11 at
idle and ~46 at 3200, whereas mine seems to be down 6 psi respectively from
both those readings, 5 and 40.

Geo, what did you have electrical SPI's? If so what reading did you have in
the beast? G20?
