ive often wondered the point of oil presure gauges,,,,, as when its dropped the engines alread fucked aint it ?

oil temp is good,,, voltage,,,, erm not sure on that tbh cause that tells the battery not the power to the pump/ecu which would be more important im sure

boost is good though as it moves and AFR ( one that works ) is also good
On the Defi's you can set the alarm warning function as high as you want. You are confusing the standard oil light with a proper gauge, as by the time this comes on, your engine is most likely fucked. However, I have my warning set at 2 bar, so this should give me plenty of warning if it goes below this in normal driving. Obviously it is on at idle, but I know that isn't a problem.
