Stock oil pressure gauge. I'm still waiting to hear back from turbonetics about this issue. I would find it highly unlikely that the turbo was killed within 1500 miles... but the possibility is there. I notice a few mm of shaft play orthogonal to the axis of rotation, but that's it (well.. besides the small amount of oil).

To top this off, wouldn't a dead turbo emit smoke at start up when the pressure reaches the same as when it emits ~30PSI. I think it has something to do with the turbo, but I don't think the turbo is DOA... could be wrong though.
