What temperature does everyone measure their turbo oil pressure?
Naturally the oil pressure will be higher with colder oil, but with the numbers I've seen on here for the Garrett conventional sleeve bearings, no one ever seems to specify what their oil temp is.
My setup is producing 50 psi max to the turbo at 150 degrees, but at 210 degrees it drops down to 30-35 psi. I could raise the pressure, but would it not be too high when oil is cold?
Please advise.

Ok, drilled the restrictor out to .125". The line I'm using is a -4. Now the oil pressure maxes out at 65 on the turbo with oil temp around 150*. Anyone think this is too high?
