What kinda car?&nbsp FD already runs about 100psi of oil pressure...

For an FC, you can run a Racing Beat OPR shimmed to 80-85psi of bypass.&nbsp I have been running this for the past 5+ years with no problems.

Racing Beat sells an even higher rated OPR at 130psi, but this has no place in a street car.

its an fd. I was worried the added oil pressure might prevent the turbos from spinning and blow the seals out. it is a race car and not for the street.
