Mine sits right at about 45 psi at a warm idle as well. From what ive heard, a ported oil pump will show less psi at idle, but more at WOT.

what suprises me is with very little little tuning that i have done i dont see any difference in drivability with the g5x3 exepct on cold start takes abotu 10 secs to get a good idle other then that its just liek stock
