    That engine is designed for that oil pressure sender line to be dead headed against the gauge. It will drop your oil pressure at the bearings. Your gauge will not read right either because the oil can flow through the turbo and not build pressure in the line.

    We had a 1970s International diesel tractor that officially had 60hp and top speed of 30km/h. But the rpm restraint was changed so it did rev up to 3000rpm instead of 2500rpm and did 47km/h. Hauling heavy loads it did accelerate way faster then our 105hp turbo diesel modern tractor that would struggle going up the same hills with same load. I suspect it had a LOT more HP at 3000rpm then the official number. Also the modern tractor had double the amount of gears (4 inbetween gears for every gear) and it needed all the gear to move a heavy load. The old tractor we often skipped gears because you did not need all the gears to get moving.

    That diesel turbo has what is called a "labyrinth seal" on the shaft after the impellor and it's not actually a seal it's really a very small leak. You can't use those for very long flowing gasoline and also closing a throttle in front of it. At idle on a gas burner they will leak oil into the intake manifold and making boost forces air saturated with gasoline into the turbo bearing housing.
    What you want is called a "carbon-faced seal" and they are real oil seals that can wear out and even when perfect they slow your spoolup.
    Weirdly every gasoline powered trash pump has a carbon faced seal that will work in a turbo!
    They come in different sizes and there are shop specialize in fitting carbon seals to stuff that never had them originally. They are available for most-but-not-all turbos but some of them go as high as 1500 horsepower! (-per-turbo-)
