[Vwdiesel] Is it weird oil pressure?

Just read your posting; I first thought "very strange " but
having thought about it; here's a rational answer:
The turbo is oil lubricated; but also oil cooled is it not?
so it may need more oil  as it speeds up and creates
boost.(Unless oil flow rate is constant and always in
excess.)
After all the return from the turbo into the sump is quite
large like a hosepipe...
If your pump was a little weak from wear/gauze blockage or
even replaced by some PO with a gasser sized version.
