I know most of us run similar oil line set-ups. -3an Stainless Steel braided lines.

The stock oil pressure is supposed to be 70psi + over 3000rpms, im sure most of us (hopefully all of us) are aware of that fact.

My question is, how many of you experieced an oil pressure loss after the install of a turbocharger? Is there anyone out there running below stock spec?

I have alot of friends telling me my 50-60psi max oil pressure is safe, while I highly disagree and refuse to go further then around the block at part throttle untill I track down the problem.

 

Wouldn't the loss be experienced because you are running a line to the turbo , pulling oil away from the motor, thus releaving a small amount of pressure??? I dont know just trying to think logically, im new to the turbo thing myself so, i would also like to know.

And i have a question in relation to oil pressure and turbos, also, I heard that to much oil to th e turbo will float the bearing and then bye bye turbo, so what kinda pressure is ideal to run to the turbo itself?

 

More like bye bye motor. already fried a pump and blew one 10 months ago 2 weeks under boost.

To much no its not letting it out.... when ur dumping in a gallon a minute (this is just me making **** up) and letting out 3 quarts a minute your gonna blow your seals... This is why the return needs to be bigger then the inlet.
