987.1 oil pressures, idle and max
I just installed a pressure sensor in my 2008 Cayman S, and I'm seeing lower oil pressures than I guessed I should be seeing when warmed up. At idle, it can drop as low as 0.5 bar, and the high pressure is limited to about 3.7 bar when the relief valve kicks in. If you have a pressure sensor, what are you seeing?

Warm idle: 1.1-1.2 bar
Warm @ 3K RPM: 4 bar (this is spec)

You seem to have all the right oiling mods (except maybe AccuSump), so I suspect you have been through these threads:
Planet 9 "Gen 1 Oiling Solutions"
Cayman Registry "Monitoring Oil Pressure" This takes signing up, but it is free (for PCA members).
They have lots of data traces from different cars showing oil pressure. I was one of the ones that help prove there was an oiling problem by blowing up my engine....
Once you take car of the oiling issue, these are fantastic cars on track - I miss mine...
