89 N/A Never Ending F**K Ups
I got this 89 GTU in about 2006 after owning a 87 for about 3 years before. I rebuilt it when I first got it. Did a terrible job removing the emission and doing some other things like making the VDI not work and the 5-6 ports not getting hooked up. needless to say it ran like **** unless it was wide open throttle.
I finally got to a place in life where I can afford to do the right things to the car. so any help/ criticism is much appreciated. Ill update with pictures as much as I can.... excuse the Iphone Pics I don't do much photography.
This is just the start.....

you are on your way...
you already upgraded to the Rotor Style oil cap.
That in itself is a mod that will net you Big HP numbers!
(some of those vacuum lines are sneaky!..I removed the upper and Painter's taped and labelled every one of them PLUS took phone pics.)

Woo Hoo She purrs like a kitten. one thing though at idle the oil pressure drops to almost zero and at the highest when its revving around 4500-5000 the oil pressure only climbs to about. anyone have any advice on that?

I am not sure if the S4 and S5 have a similar oil sender or not, but you could also check the wire to the oil pressure sender. Especially if it just started reading low right after you put it back together.
The only time my car showed 0 psi oil pressure was when the wire fell off the sender. Not saying it is your issue.

I use 10-30 castrol. It was change before it was put in storage 2 years ago and has less than 100 miles on it, I still would like to flush all my fluids.
My wiring looks like garbage so I'll check that also.
I also noticed one of my oil injector lines has bubbles in it when it's idling. Could a oil injector line having a hole in it cause a drop in oil pressure?

yes, Im looking at the stock oil gauge I've heard they might not be the most accurate. Ill also change the oil to 20-50 and see what that does.
The car goes into a limp mode after its warmed up and running a little. is that an oil pressure ting as well?

The stock gauge tends to float and takes a second to stabilize. I don't think the weight of the oil will make your oil pressure non existent. Does the car go into limp mode when the accelerated warm up cycle is finished or when the car gets to a particular temperature?

It happens when it gets through its warming cycle and is driven a bit. I can give it full throttle for a little after it warms up. I had no C.E.L. on before I took the intake off and it seemed like the oil pressure read fine when I parked it from what I remember. I know it has to be something I did in between removal and reassembly.....
I've been reading on how to check the codes through flashing the C.E.L., but I'm dumb so we'll see how that turns out .

All is well I was showing codes 27 and 37 for the OMP so I was doing a visual check and noticed one of the wires was chaffed for whatever reason so I put a new plug on I had off a spare OMP and.... no lights and she runs great. I also noticed my god damn water pump is leaking so I guess I will be doing more work to her over the weekend....... Never Ending.......
