thats defo running low on pressure
take the releif valve out and give it a clean
mine hits 5 bar at cold idle and drops to 3 bar once warm at idle
above about 4k its at 5bar and below that it sits at 4bar once its fully warmed up
did u prime the oil filter before fitting it?

You prime the oil filter by pouring a little oil inside the filter befpre you stick it back on.
