Hi Fanus.
The problem you have with oil pressure dropping and setting off the alarm is probably due to incorrect fitment of the sender.
If you take a look you might see that it is leaking, this is because when installed they dont use teflon tape on the threads.
Both bakkies we took for a madman install had this problem. Its an easy fix, just remove it, dismantle it and add tape to all threads.

Cheers.
Dave.

Another thing, do a quick check that the black wire from the unit attaches to the engine block and not the vehicle chassis. They usually attach the wire to a bolt just above and beside the clutch pedal.
If connected there you will get fluctuating readings when operating lights, ac etc.

Fanus, soos wat die ander manne se dink ek jy het n earth probleem. Die Madman se earth MOET na die engine toe gaan. Ek het myne op die intake manifild vasgebout.

Ek het my EGT alarm gestel op 620, ek dink as jy wil veilig wees moet jy onder 650 bly. Ek glo jou EGT gaan nog baie laag wees op die oomblik?
Wat is jou maksimum so ver?

EK het gister middag gou 'n styl bult op die sabie-hazyview pad uit gejaag, die egt's het omtrent tot by 650 gegaan... maar ek het die bakkie redelik gedruk.

Dink dis tyd vir die 76mm exhaust...

Nee het nog nie boost gauge nie, het een gister op internet gekoop.
Toe ek die bult uit gejaag het, het ek net na die egt's gekyk. Maar ek dink die coolant temps was so omtrent 80 gewees.
Sal weer moet kyk om seker te maak...

620 - 630 deg C on the EGT gauge is in my opinion a max figure. Mine is set at 630, but I need to add a little more air to mine to get the temps down a little.

Yes Cedric I have seen on that dyno day that yours makes a little bit more smoke than mine and mine was already running a bit rich. They fitted a lamda probe to my exhaust so it was measured.

I think if you could up your boost by 0.1 - 0.2 bar it should be perfect!
Mine is running at 0.95 bar at the moment and I am very happy with the temps and power
