    Corolla Oil Pump Rating?

    I need to buy an oil pressure guage for my car so I can make sure my oil pump doesn't take a dump while I'm messing with my turbo :) But I need to know what PSI rating our oil pumps are so I can get the guage that is right for the job. This is the guage I'm looking at right now.

    Probably will depend on what oil viscosity you re planning to run. Service specs on oil pressure are 43+ PSI at idle and 43-78 PSI at 3000 RPMs. Run some thicker stuff and you might hit 100+ PSI at WOT. I don't it is a deal breaker, since most oil pressure gauges I've seen only read up from 0-100 PSI anyways.

    Yeah I just wanted to make sure it didn't exceed 100psi. I'll get the 100psi guage. Thanks.
