Just wanted to ask what you guys are seeing at idle oil pressure wise after you've beat on the car for a little bit? Cant seem to find it in a search. Im just trying to pick the correct weight oil for my application and am thinking about going with a 15w-40.

Mine is about the same...18-20psi at 900rpm hot idle 10w30 vr1. My clearances were a little on the loose side and I have no restriction in the turbo feed. Cold start is 65-70psi, cruising around usually around 50psi. I had thought about rotella 15-40, but had a few say not too. Others said it would be fine.
