Ultimate Newb question: Oil Pressure

[jkchang]

What is the oil pressure supposed to be at during various boost levels?

My engine is running fine now (need to fix the knock sensor wiring still...) but I just wanted to make sure the pressure levels are ok. I have a small turbo oil leak (replacing in a month or so w/ an upgraded ct26) but nothing else is leaking (unless it's invisible).

I tried searching, but the terms "OIL" and "PRESSURE" come up too often w/o any good insight.

Thanks,
Jeff

It has nothing to do with boost. It varys by RPM and temp primarily.

exactly what i needed to hear!! That you! I thought it would increase with boost (although that makes no sense... seeing that it'd only affect the TOP side of the piston ... haha)

Thank you!
