Question fluctuating oil pressure

Hey there,

My oil pressure drops down to about 2kg/m3 (or just 2 on the scale) at idle. When I rev, it goes up to about 6 at WOT. It kinda follows my throttle. My uncle said his Porsche 944 did the same thing, and that its a good thing.

Is it supposed to do this?

Peace,
Nima
PS. Oh yeah, my voltage fluctuates a bit...lights get brighter a bit when I give it some gas. Is that normal?
