    yes debo it definitly is not somking mate.

    the problem is when the last turbo went, i forgot to clean the boost pipes out

    i've done it now and there isn't any oil coming out off the dv or any oil in the pipes as i checked this the other day when i jubile clip came off the intake pipe as i didn't do it up tight enough.........

    what does thus usually mean then if oil pressure is dropping when on boost?

    Well, what you've said there rules out a fault with the turbo - sounds to me like the oil pump's on it's way out or it's partially blocked. The oil pressure rises with the revs, so the fact that it comes on boost is irrelevant, it's the revs that count...

    What's the pressure like at idle? ok? If the strainer was blocked, then the pressure would be low at idle too........
    If you have any car care related questions, ask me in the Cleaning/Detailing section.

    yes, it drops at idle but only to the 3/4 mark, then i rev it and it goes up to
    the 3bar mark......... but it does now and again have a slight pop when on full boost, like it's hesitant, possibly the injecters maxing out? but it's rare tho

    but when i'm driving and it revs on boost it drops

    1372cc standard, then a rebore with 80.9 or 81mm pistons gives around 1390? am i correct?
