iv got a digi dash! (with the twin sender, all wired in)

what reading should it be saying on tick over, just on startup on a 2L 16v?

i'd guess full pressure on startup then dropping to the middle of the guage once its warmed up

mine on normal tick over will be at about 1/2 the guage then when i boot it, it will go right to the top nearly. if the idle goes below about 800 rpm the guage qoeas quite low

mines is the same as md's but on tick over it sits a litlle bit less than 1/2!! but when mines is cold it sits high and does not move alot. this may because the oil is thicker when cold so high pressure??
