new turbo and oil, psi question
Just installed a Borg 200sx fmw and went from 10-30 to rotella 5-40. With my SC setup my idle oil pressure was 18ish... now with the turbo and 5-40 its at 31psi. This ok? Just bleeding coolant and have not driven the car.

Did you change anything with the sending unit? Could be that the SC had worn seals and was causing some pressure loss. There is a thread on here about oil pressure, cold start will be way higher than idle after engine warms up to operating temps.

I wonder if my plx gauge is right as my oil pressure is 4-9 psi with oil temps around 230f below 200f 15-18 psi cruising at 3000rpm 55-60psi at 220-230f and 65-70psi below 200f I hope this is ok. I have heard the plx reads low

sounds like good pressure to me. thats where it should be without driving. after u drive and get her all hot, your oil psi will be between 10-20 psi at idle.
Glad you got her up and running!!!
