The idle on these is lumpy. Once the car is fully warmed up at idle it will be around 1 bar on pressure. it will bounce around a bit. Post a video. If its between 1-3 bar, something is off.

^ +1 .. the hotter the oil the more pronounced the pressure bounce will be. But I agree if it jumps from 1 to 3 that's seems a bit drastic unless your idle is also less stable.

That is definitely not normal. Are RPMs steady while that is happening?

Mine will move slightly when fully hot (after auto-x hot lap) but about half that at most. What oil are you using? Inspect the o-ring at the tip of the oil filter holder.
