Low Oil Pressure Observed with a Gauge

I wonder the same. I added an Oil Pressure Sensor a couple months ago when I finished my custom Turbo Build. I have been keeping a close eye on Oil Pressure ever since because I have an 09' (Bought it 4 years ago with only 44k Miles on it. Now I'm at 101k). My Oil Pressure is always at 14-16psi at idle when up to testing temp. and the 2k rpms test its always at 43-45psi. I also see people here testing out at higher psi's and wonder about the difference. I do plan to upgrade the gaskets and do the billet gears. But I also see myself within spec so I wanted to hold off till I build the motor so I can do it while I'm there. I don't think anyone has done the work to the motor before me, but you don't know till you're in there.
