Default Need help reading this Oil pressure Gauge

I installed my turbo kit not too long ago... I'm still paranoid, So I want to make sure the readings I'm getting from my gauges are good or normal... Thanks

at Cold Morning Start and it will start slowly going down as the engine warms up..


this on is about 10 min From the cold start at about 70 MPH on the HWY around 4k RPMs - it will actually sometimes go down to 4.0 at similar speed + rpms but in the afternoon around 80F


and this one is at idle after 30 min of HWY driving...

and this one was idling at night the same day after 30 mins of hwy drive

where I live right now mornings are from 55F to 60F and afternoons around 80F... I mention the weather temp. assuming this will affect in way the car... also there aren't any oil leaks visible and the engine was full or oil when I took this pics... thanks in advance for any comments or info..

Those readings are normal. Most people use psi units but kg/cm2 is fine just as long as within the operating zone. Where is your pressure sensor located?

Your readings are normal. Multiply your gauge numbers by 14.22 to convert to psi.
