oil pressure and a turbo.... Im running an 02 WS6 with a built iron block 6liter (its a new motor with no more then 150 miles on it.), and an STS turbo with meth. My question is oil pressure. I have a high volume oil pump for the motor, but the oil pressure when warm drops down to about 10 lbs, and when driving if I stop and don't keep the rpms up by giving it gas the oil pressure drops low enough to stall the car. Any ideas guys. Please and thank you..
I have no idea what the problem would be other than maybe the pickup tube from the pan, or the O-ring at the tube being pinched. Is the motor a crate engine or was it pieced together from home (no offense to you or anyone that took it apart and put it back together 
) I had about the same problems after I did a H/C swap but never to the point where the car stalled because of it. With that said, my advice would be to NOT DRIVE IT. don't even turn it on with that kind of pressure...but i'll assume you knew that and have had it parked since the stalling issue.

Well its not a crate motor but a very reputable builder built it for me. Im thinking maybe under a little boost and with the great oil pressure we had at first that maybe the oil restrictor in front of the motor just behind the timing chain cover might have pushed out a bit so that the pressure dropped off.
