I'm tapped in to the same spot with a Prosport premium pressure sender hooked up to the P3cars vent gauge.

Running Amsoil 5w30

my idle pressue is around 28psi and on track at redline I was at 55psi w/ temps at 215. cold start pressures are around 100psi

I am running the AVO Turboworld oil cooler.

On a cold start with rough ambient temp of 90F with 0W-20 pressure is between 90-100 after normal street driving in this temp the gauge drops to around 6-8psi at idle. Is that normal? Seems awful low to me, and after a 20min track session can bounce around 4psi.

I know I will not be running 0W-20 with these temps and most certainly not on the track anymore, just want to make sure my gauge is reading correctly.

Gauge is tapped in at the galley plug by the compressor.
