tried searching the forum but couldnt find anything quite similar to my problem.
Initial start up went great with the base map on TurboXS website.
Took it for a spin and tweaked a few things on the map just to make it run to my personal liking .
Gave it a hard push hit 7.8 psi according to the utec and let out when i noticed it leaned out a bit and i went to adjust accordingly when i noticed my oil light was on.
I immediately shut the car off for obvious safety reasons. popped the hood had no leaks what so ever.
so i turned the car back on and the oil pressure was roughly around 5psi when is should be between 12-15psi to my knowledge at an idle.(500rpm)
I have a TN single turbo kit with a AAM oil pan spacer and the oil return line made by AAM to fit the TN kit
Thanks for any input

Engine is fine never even had a chance to push the car so it isn't toast but thanks
The pick up spacer was installed as well and oil level is just under full limit
The car was never over heated all the temps seemed fairly normal

Read a few places to cut a small triangle in the pick up opening to allow more flow ... Can anyone back this info up?
Also heard that a oil restrictor should help the psi

I think I got it figured out I had the breather on the drivers side valve cover tee'd in with another line... with my oil catch can.
popped it off while it was idling and instantly the pressure went up to 15psi
In the mourning I will go get some more reinforced tube and see what happens.
Also the injectors will be installed tomorrow and upload the new base map do a street tune and a dyno tune as well.
