low oil pressure: when driving on the interstate yesterday/today @3krpm my oil pressure is only 45psi this seems pretty low to me... what is the normal pressure and what would cause it to be like this?
glowing turbo: after i noticed my oil pressure was below normal, i pulled over at a gas station and popped the hood, and to my surprise, my turbo was glowing, but the runners were normal, no discoloration and actually had some white to it... i was like wtf...
any ideas on any of these things? my oil pressure has been like this for a little bit, so i thought it was maybe a bad oil pickup because the one i had was a little bent, so i replaced it night before last and at the same time put on an oil restrictor to my turbo b/c the place i bought my turbo from said i needed a restrictor on it...
