I found it increases not unlike the rise in boost pressure as the rpm's increase then again i always run clean oil and bang on top of dipper maybe if your oil is old/low it will take time for the pump to build up pressure as their isnt the same flow going into the strainer due to lower level/thicker unclean oil??

What grade of oil do you use?

On idle can you see oil being splashed about when you take the rocker cover cap off?

BMW oil? :lol:

What grade is it though, 10/40, 10/30, 5/40 etc?

If you're using too thin an oil, this could explain low oil pressure.

5/40 is to thin for a turbo car matey, Before buying fancy oil from the likes of BMW wouldn't it of been an idea to notice that BMW don't make a petrol turbo engine :roll: ;-) .
