Hi,

I have changed the gasket between turbo and manifold. Yesterday I mounted the turbo again, and everything went well, until I noticed that my oil pressure was wery low.

60 psi on idle when cold
3 psi on idle when warm
43 psi on 3000rpm when warm

The car has been parked for 6 weeks now, but i have not done anything else than replacing the gasket.
Any advice? The pressure was fine before I parked it.
Thanks in advance:-)

Did you by any chance use a cleaning solvent in the turbo lines or on the turbo?
