Default Bump

C'mon guys, surely someone knows this. It's just that every other post that asks about putting a mechanical gauge in uses the one above the filter. I'm already using this for the turbo oil feed so I thought I might as well undo this end and screw a gauge in. It reads about 75psi and when the motors reved a little it can go up to 90psi ( seems a little high ) thus I thought i would check that this setup is OK
