Oil pressure jumping around at higher RPM's - add a windage tray?

As a side note, in the gasser world bosch oil filters are known to cause the oil light to go on. I personally had this happen. They are in the same quality department as FRAM filters nowadays.

Things that make you go....hmmmmmmm.  I wonder if I was suffering from just such a condition.

It sounds like maybe your revved it out of gear.  If that's the case, you should test it driving under load with the two significant differences being where the oil sloshes in the pan and the turbo spinning a lot faster.

068115561E is what I use, also some numbers to check would be 068115561BML or 068115561B

I get them from autohaus https://www.autohausaz.com/index.html

Unfortunately, I don't have any handy locations to run 125 mph for a distance.  I think the at-speed testing is going to have to wait for Bonneville.

I'm not talking about going 125.  You can see in your video @ 0:59 that it starts to do it in second gear.  Can you legally drive it and wind out second?  That would tell you a lot more than revving it in neutral with the car standing still.

It's "plausible" to run out 2nd gear on public roads, but I'd also have to file it under "likely to result in a conversation with John Law". 

I'll have to work up some courage for that one.

If you are otherwise legal remember they work for you, not the other way around. Just keep it in posted speed you will be fine.

The truck is technically legal, (valid plates and insurance), although it has absolutely no lights, and the windows don't roll down, which make even basic hand signals impossible.
