Basic Turbo questions
Hey guys I got my turbo installed I want to throw you some numbers from my uego gauge and tell me if it seems normal.
At idle it will take a minute but it gets to the 14.7-15.0 range kinda bounces around those numbers in that range.
While driving w/o boost like around 4000rpm it runs like 10.8-13.0 range?
Do these numbers sound about right I had this professionally tuned and he said he put a very safe tune on it for the engine.
Also I am leaking at oil pan just put a new gasket and torqued to factory specs any idea why it is leaking?
On my oil pressure gauge is shows 100psi when it starts cools to 65-80 when foot is on gas. Push cluth in and left off gas like in neutral it drops to 25psi. Let me know if these numbers are typical running a turbo on a car. Also what other things should I look for??? Any Tipps
Also I have to give it a little gas to start it then it will idle after I hold the gas for about 30 seconds. What is that from?

Sounds like your tuner is completely incompetent.
It should idle at 14.7:1. From around 21 to 10 in/hg vacuum, it should be around 14.0:1-14.7:1 and even a little leaner at 15.5:1-16.0:1 at light throttle. From 10 to 0 in/hg vacuum, it should be around 13.0:1-13.5:1. In boost, it should be at 11.0:1-11.5:1. With the numbers you are showing, your gas mileage probably sucks ass and it probably feels pretty boggy since there is way too much fuel being dumped in.
The oil pan shouldn't be leaking at all after a new gasket. Were the bolts tightened in a criss cross pattern and the gasket coated with a little hondabond?
Your oil pressure seems a little high, but not too much out of whack. Are you running an oil restrictor? What weight oil are you running?

it idles at 14.7-15 at the correct vacuum and from 10 vac to 0 it runs like 11.3-11.7 and it boost runs like 12.5-13.6 goes up as the boost goes up
yes was tightned in a criss cross pattern torqued at 9ft/lbs I didnt used hondabond I used blue rtv sealent i am running 5 w 30 I have a little leak on the oil feed line out of the sandwich plate but I put thread tape on it and someone told me to take it off that it wont seal that way.

You want to use honda-bond or the gray sealant...not the blue stuff. The sandwich adapter doesn't require any additional sealant, just make sure the o-rings are coated in oil before it is installed.
