oil pressure gauge
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 )

Is your oil cooler getting proper air flow? Do you have a FMIC possibly restricting the air flow to the oil cooler? This would raise oil temps... But enough to blow a line?

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
