Threw the BNIB FP MHI e316g on last night...an AMAZING difference when compared to the eBay. It sounds completely different...which I'm assuming is b/c the WG is working properly...and it feels amazing...have the MBC set at 12psi for a while to sooth my boost addiction...spools 8psi by 2800 and full boost (12psi) by 3100....feels great...even sounds different....er...like a turbo is supposed to sound...I'm all smiles...I do have a question I'd like to address before I use the car more often. After operating temps are reached...the oil pressure is sitting around 20psi and under WOT at 12psi its hovering int he 75psi range...I am feeding it from the OFH and I'm thinking I need a restrictor....is this a valid assumption? What are the "ideal" oil pressures with such a turbo configuration? at idle and at full boost under WOT...full boost meaning the actual FULL boost of say 22-25psi...? I read somewhere that anything between 20-70psi is ideal...what size of restrictor would i need to try to reach those pressures instead of the higher one's I'm seeing now....Should i swap to a different type of oil? Currently using 10w30 non-syn...for another 500 miles...Or can I just clip a part of the metering spring off to accompany the lower the pressures I'm seeking...?
