Just pulled out a rally today as my engine oil temp went of the gauge above 150 degrees!! My turbo isn't water cooled and I use antilag which will heat up the oil.......surely I must have a duff sender or gauge?? The gauge and sender were bought together but it isn't a branded make??? I also have a 19 row oil cooler?

What was the oil pressure and water temps like?

Water temp was around 100 and at idle the oil pressure was 2 bar ish?? This was after an 8 mile stage. I'm using Mobil 1 15 50 motorsport oil

I'd be ringing Opie oils and chatting with them...
I was seeing 130 degs on the motorway, I rung them and was advised to try a different oil...
It run slightly cooler but I had piece of mind that once a oil cooler was fitted, my oil would do its job...

i"ve always thought that for heavy use[such as yours] a water cooled turbo core is far better
would be intresting to see the drop in temp with a quality water cooled item

those american type oil cooled only turbos are great for what they do best-1/4mile..
