My '95 1.8 w/turbo:? 20-30 PSI at idle, about 60 at speed (Real OPG, needle centered vertically or just left of center at speed). Pressure will vary according to oil viscosity and ambient temperature.? I like 0W-40 or 5W-30 Mobil 1, so I get very good flow, and the pump doesn't have to work as hard as it would with thicker oil. I have tested oil flow at the turbo by disconnecting the feed line, turning the engin on, and watching a pint sized container fill in a second or two...?

Just rebuilt a 95 1.8 and we are getting what seems to be low oil pressure. At least to bottom end of the spec in the manual. Bearing clearances measure good, and has a new oil pump. I was wondering if anyone with a manual (real) oil pressure gauge typically gets at 3,4,5,6K. Also any ideas what would make the pressure low. Thanks in advance. ?
