oil pressure question under boost
my oil pressure gauge usually reads around 60lbs when hot it drops down a bit, but after i installed the procharger and i get on it with boost for a while the gauge drops a little below 30lbs at idle, it comes up when i accelerate, then if i drive it easy its about normal again above 30lbs, anyone else have this problem? is it normal?

Hot oil flows easier than cold. The hotter the oil the less pressure you will see. Under boost the engine is getting hotter and the oil is getting hotter.
You should also see a rise in coolant temps after sustained boost.
