i seem to have very low amount of oil passing through my oil feed to turbo but engine and oil pressure and gauge are reading fine, could this be a blockage? i have taken of the oil feed and even run the car and i get a dribble so im guessing its the stem on the oil pressure feed? :confused:

There is a non return valve under the turbo oil feed, it looks like an inch long nut. Check that isnt stuck/filled with ****e etc.

Are you using the standard oil pressure gauge or aftermarket? The original gauge is very unreliable.

Is your gauge plumbed in just before going to turbo? After the or one way valve like, aint got a filter on there too have you?

If it's old it's probably filled with carbon deposits. Some of the old turbo feeds i've cut into after replacing have been shocking. Buy a new one.
