So for two months now, i have issues with my car.



what happened is that i did my oil+filter change then i tried to remove the emissions system (unsuccessfuly).

Since then when warm, at idle my car is at 1 bar of oil pressure (instead of 2 bar before). Although when i drive the car, i reach the 4 bar correctly as before. I guess the oil pressure regulator in the crankshaft is somehow not working properly. You think it could be that ?



Second point, My turbo is now going from -0.8 bar to 0.5 bar instead of -0.6 to 0.7 bar before. Do you know what could be the cause of that ?

I precise, this reading is with my aftermarket boost gauge has the stock one has never been properly working.



Pleaaaaase help me

This morning i thought about something for the boost pressure... i played a little with air filter (oem). I've tried to remove the dust with a brush and then reinstall it by turning it 180° (not upside down). If it somehow restrict the admission, i suppose it could lead to an increase of the negative pressure and of the max pressure at the same time. I'm thinking about either that or the intercooler that is clogged and also restrict the air debit...

what brand gauges you running it might play a bit into whats going on

i got zenky racing ones. but i left the car at the mechanic shop. They didn't have the time to look at it in 4 weeks due to holidays. Although they took the time to mesure the pressures with their tools and everything and they found the same result has the one shown by my gauges.
