Default STS guys, my oil alarm keeps going off under boost

Does this mean my pump is failing? Only happening over 7 psi. On lower boost it won't go off.

Trying to figure out whats wrong.

means you need the upgraded pump I do believe.
when you run higher boost they say you need the bigger pump.
at least I am 99% sure of that. call or email them to be sure.

I was running 10 psi on the 67 before without this issue. Not sure why changing the turbo affects the oiling.

I had some issue with this when I ran 14 psi and I have the upgraded pump as well. It was just chirping here and there, slowhawk did something to fix it but I dont remember what? I will have him chime in here for you.

My GT35 with the small pump did it all the time. My GT67 didn't do it near as often for some reason. Then I switched to the bigger pump and it almost never goes off. Just a chirp no and then like Mike said.

I called STS, they said as long as i don't have any oil in my intake pipes to give the hobbs switch a turn or two. We are trying to figure out if I have the high volume pump or not. My guess is not.

I'll check my turbo later this week since the car will be down cause of the stupid rain for the next week I feel like I live in seattle.
