a 89 GTU would come stock with a non turbo or N/A motor.

And no, the 89 and 90 GTU was the base strippy model for those years and handled no different than any other S5 non turbo with 15 inch wheels.

and the oil pressure should be at 60 PSI above 2500 RPM. You should not be thinking of "turning it down"

You may have a broken oil inj line (oil on rotor housing) My OMP was stuck on full throttle a while back, and that used a lot of oil. Rotary engines don't seem to have a lot of torque at low RPM's.
