Default My mighty oil pressure

Just fitted my new oil pump and on start up im getting 105 psi


My old one only gave me 55 when i started it

My car sounds so much better its unbeleivable, plus i had a small oil leak that came fom the front of my sump and its now gone, oil free and leak free with a brand new turbo fitted too


Im as happy as a pig it shite


Thanks for hearing me out

mines reads 85 on cold start.

Has it always been 60?

if the press doesnt gradually drop then I would think it will be ok...
