Default oil pressure light

Alright... trying for a startup and coolant bleed on a new turbo setup. Tuner sent me base map (EMS V1) to start the car, check for leaks etc.... I cranked the engine over dry dozens of times while hooked to a battery charger to try and get oil pressure before start up. I finally pulled the oil filter and a few remote fittings to see if I was getting oil, which I am. After I knew I had oil completely through the system, I turned it over a few more times to see if I could atleast get the oil light to flicker. Finally I turned it over and let it run for a few seconds about five times to see if that would get the oil light to go out... still have it. I am running a bit of a custom remote filter and cooler setup. I am going to post a few picks to see if I have things right.


My concerns are that I am getting too much pressuredrop or I may have the lines on the canton block switched? I dont have an oil pressure gauge, only dummy light. Opinions please.....

This is the canton block and the bolt Im using... I beleive others are running this same setup with no issues.

this is my remote greddy filter and laminova oil cooler... oil lines are hooked up properly to the greddy filter adapter...

The upper -10 AN line is the one that goes "in" on my greddy oil filter adapter. The bottom is returned from my oil cooler. Do I have these lines switched on the canton block???

It shouldn't take you very long to just switch them around and if that's not your problem gotta make sure your oil presure sensor wire ain't touching ground anywhere or it will trigger the light can also just borrow or buy a oil pressure tester gauge but I bet it's you're lines just switch them suckers over cause I bet the car was running just fine befor the turbo instal lol

Pull the adapter off and see which passage goes where
The return should be feeding the center of the bolt and the out should be from the outlet off to the side of the center bolt
Then you know for sure.
