Oil Pressure :0

I searched the forums aswell as the internet and came up with 90 psi as about the normal when driving . I have a Prosport electric oil guage and its giving me a reading of 100 - 105 and when I come to idle the needle bounces around all over the place and eventually ends up around 25 . I drive an 02 wrx with 95k miles , up ,dp , Lrgr top mount , and cat back . I was running it with xpt stg 2 but had to go back to factory due to the gas man . Any have any ideas of what could be causing this cause im pretty sure something isnt working right . Sender is mounted under the intercooler.

i have the same guage and thats about right. at initially start up it reads at 100psi, and stays there until the oil warms up a little. then it drops to about 25-30 at idle. mine doesn't bounce around though, that is usually a sign of the sender going bad. if you mounted it in the oil galley plug near the turbo, the sender gets too hot there. I have been through like 4 senders before i figured it out. prosport is good about warranties, they replaced all of mine no questions asked. I had a custom stainless line made that threads into the same galley plug but moves the sender like a foot away toward the fire wall. I had it in there for like 6 months now with no problems.
