Not sure on exact figures (will check manual later, I have a feeling they are in there), but I recall figures as high as 70-90 pounds for oil pressure in the main gallery, could be worth asking in the turbo section, as a lot of guys have had to play around with restrictors and such to prevent oil leaking past the turbo seals.

Stone cold, new oil and filter cranking with no plugs in, 60 psi at the pressure switch union.. Dont forget to connect the guage up BEFORE pushing the tit... DOH.........

Cheers lads, just after a rough idea what pressure would be needed for a head cooler that's all, as seen some nice ones tested to 25psi,oviously they'll take a tad more, but don't want to put 100+ through it for example lol

Danny , manual says - oil pressure between 43 to 85 psi at 3000rpm at 60 degrees . You will see over 100psi when the oils cold. Not sure on pressure on the cooler side of things as its a totally different circuit . Got a head cooler on mine for about 3 years no problem sits behind the number plate . One single line out of crank case to oil cooler , then line back and i put T peice just above alternator then two lines to cam cover .
