Default Gentlemen I really need your help

I have a 2015 gt3 with 1000 miles on board whose oil pressure went off the hook 5 days ago. It is with Porsche and they agree that my car is producing 25 % higher oil pressures than spec. They have sent the info to PCC. who I'm guessing will forward the info to PCNA. who will probably send it to PGA. what I'm asking for is any body to send me oil pressure readings at cold start with ambient temperature and then when the engine is warm. Oil pressure readings at 2000, 3000 , 4000, 5000, 6000, etc. I need this info so that if I am told I'm nuts and that my car is fine. Which I assure you it's not. The greater the weight of evidence from all of you who own the cars that can send me the greater weight I have to tell Porsche that my car is not all right.
Mike from ca and josh from fla and cone killer from Calgary have sent me the info but I really would like a much broader sample from you. The actual owners. If I can clearly show that my car is in the abnormal range. Then the weight of evidence should help me.
Just so you know I'm not nuts. Anybody who starts their car cold and gets 75 psi cold oil pressure please let me know and if you are pushing red line oil pressures at 5000 rpm. Again please let me know.
Car worked great then one afternoon it didn't. It changed. I would really appreciate the help. And thanks mike , josh, and Pete for all your help

I think video of instrument cluster with oil pressure display would be ideal to go with readings. Is a pity I'm not a) run in b) not got video camera solutions yet! If only this was either wider fov or bit more to the right and obvioiusly like 10 min long, hopefully someone can help soon.

I may be naïve but I have never looked at the oil pressure only temperature. It is now away for the Winter but I must watch this in the Spring. I hope all is well and a quick solution if there is a problem.

You're the only one I've read about with this problem to date. Hope it gets sorted quickly. Good luck.

Gravity - other than the gauge telling you it is high does the car feel/act differently?

If the cold start didn't sound like the end of the world in my daughter's room, I'd go fire it up right now on video for you. I'll try and hook you up tomorrow.

Best of luck with this Gravity. I'm sure they'll find something out.

Oil pressure from cold start over a few minutes as car warms up. Taking pics at speed won't be easy. Maybe someone with a go pro. But, really, the dealership should be able to pull the data from your chip and compare it to factory specs.

996 & 997 both had some teething pains, some that were never addressed by Porsche.

IMS, Centerlock failure, coolant hose fittings to name some of the major ones.

So far, most look limited and fairly minor for the 991.

With engine warm mine shows 19-20 at idle, 44 at 2000 and 48 at 3000. Hope this helps. Unable to go any higher in my driving environment today.

They have and I am over spec. I have been told that the data is currently with Porsche tech in Germany.
