Your oil pressure switch is on the back of the block just above the oil filter. You can't miss it.

OK it it running real rich without an FMU (upped the afc to 30% on fuel)...The FMU is on its way (tonight) but will it harm the car to go give it a break in drive?

Please don't spread information you do not have first hand knowledge. The Y7 and Y8 has the oil jets built into the cylinder heads.

Was wondering if you had a base map for a VAFC (feilds) At 8 Psi boost comes in at 2300, its a small IHI turbo, it seems to do well when not under full throttle (were talin like not even half throttle and it gets up.....) But it bogs underanything over the quarter throttle I give it.........Any advice?
