does anyone know what the oil pressue should be on the mk3 supranon-turbo should be,mine sits halfway between 0-40 which i think is 20 it goes just a little above that half way mark even when driving at high speeds. is there any danger here and what could happen?
oil pressure

Search tool is your friend. 4.3 psi min @ idle... around 40 mark by 3krpm.. if you arent reaching 40 psi you should probably check your oil and add accordingly. If still bad after an oil change and fill up id think bout your bearings

u said like 97% of what i just said
But
I would Check your OIL PUMP, gears might not be within spec, and the top of your case to your oil pump might be all Scratchd and F'd up Not producing enough oil to the motor

haha justin i know... sorry... oil pump creates flow not pressure so dont confuse the two. Id check the bearings before the pump... just my .02.
It's not the pump or he would have a larger problem than low oil pressure. You guys seem to have him lined out.
I don't know if this is wierd but when I first start the car in the morning my oil pressure is at about 35-40 psi and then when ity warms up it drops down to normal. I have always thought it was because of the viscocity of the oil. Let me know if I am wrong.

Hm - mine usually hits 40psi at about 2k, was sitting higher than that until about 2 weeks ago when it started slowly coming back down - i'm guessing that it's just a matter of the oil thinning out after about a month and a half after the oil change (which required another litre of 10w40 today after being below the minimum mark!!
