y'all, THANK YOU for this ongoing dialogue. This is awesome, being able to learn from the collective this way..

Under just about all conditions. Left hand turns, right hand turns, pressure consistently dips. I'm not using an accusump.

At this point i've given up on trying to prevent it. I run expensive ass oil (xp6 15w50 as I have an early variocam motor), change it every 2 events, run as much oil cooling as is possible on the factory set up (3rd radiator with a 997 S heat exchanger and fans on high), and hope for the best.

I should add that this phenomenon has been occurring since I installed the motor in August 2017 and there is never any metal in my oil/filter, so who knows what the deal is.

Really though I'm poking around moving up to a 987.2 Boxster S because worrying about oil pressure all the time is just plain no fun.
