I installed the Laguna Seca pod with analog oil pressure, oil temp, and voltage. All seem to be working, but the oil pressure is driving me crazy. It runs really high, like anything over 1.5-2K is 90-100 psi. Even when warm, it still shows 35 psi at idle, and as soon as you tip the throttle, it gets up immediately.

Factory manual states 10-15 psi at idle and 30-40 psi at 2000 rpm (fully warmed). Better too much than too little, but I'm struggling with the track pack 5w50 oilhaving that much impact.

I was up until 1130 checking and rechecking my install and running comparison tests, swapping senders and bench testing them, and checking the gauge itself. All appear to be in order, so if your numbers don't compare, I may need to check with a mechanical gauge and/or remote mount the sender if it's getting some weird effect from the alternator or steering assist.
