Question Rev-up oil pressure...

hey guys...i just got my APS single turbo kit put on this past weekend and iv noticed that my oil pressure is sitting low at an idle...im not sure if this is normal, but it just doesnt seem right to me...

here is the pic



once i get going (highway speed) then it jumps up to just above 60...

is this normal for a turbo setup? (i assume not)

what would be the cause of low oil pressure???

A lot of the revups pressure (even bone stock) at idle seems low to me.

Throw some 10w30 or 10w40 in there.

0w40 mobile1 will raise it a bit. But ^ like the above post it's kinda typical for them to run a little low at idle. Mine was about like yours just a little higher at idle. After the idle was raised. I'm a solid 30 and 60 on the freeway..
