oil pressure gauge
 
I see VDO gauges for oil pressure go to 80, 100, and 150 PSI. What is the ideal pressure for a 2056 T4 engine (naturally aspirated, nothing too fancy)? What gauge should I have an interest in?

The 80 psi one should work fine. But IMO feel you should be asking Jake. There are alot of factors; year case, lifters, oil pump, O/P relief set-up, you know, the basics :D . Seriously though, I read a post on STF about this. Jake said " 40 psi is more than enough pressure at RPM for most combos. Above that you start to take HP away."

Jake had me measuring the rear wheels in the rain earlier tonight. ;) Different issue.

Thanks for the reply. I'm there. :)
