my oil pressure gauge usually reads 30 or less ( i always figured it was broken ) but yesterday i started the car and after a few minutes of driving i looked down and it was pegged all the way to the right past the last number. i didn't change anything between day before yesterday and yesterday, so what would cause such a radical change? ( car still runs and drives fine )

well.... something popped on the way home from work.... i think it was my oil feed line 4 the turbo but i will find out for sure tomorrow in the day light.... update to come tomorrow.....
An oil leak reduces pressure.
I was going to ask how you could blow the oil feed line, since it's a metal hardline, but I noticed your title says "boost n/a 6port". I'm guessing you did some custom oil line routing for the turbo?

yea it has a oil sandwich plate with a braided line running off that to the turbo, and yea common sense that a leak lowers pressure, my question is what would make the pressure so high that it would peg the needle and make that line fail
