but i installed the vr-sc1 intake and it is working great
but i noticed my oil pressure goes up drastically when i accelrate quickly
normal driving isnt effected by this
but when i accelerate really fast my oil pressure hits 80 or even high

I also have a Vararam on my 06 a6 but never really noticed my oil pressure going way up at WOT. Guess i will have to look at the gauge and find out for myself.
