I reached out to Chris at Turbo Kraft and this was his reply
Hi Helio,
What an awful video -- when non-Porsche guys sell cars: "check out this gas cap..." Ugh. And anything sold in Miami is not to be trusted but inspected by an independent specialist.
Yes, that's less oil pressure than it would normally have at idle. The 3.6T had the larger 2mm piston oil squirters and the big Turbo oil pump, and all-stock they make 1.5-2.0bar at idle. But frankly, Porsche doesn't much care how much oil pressure your engine makes at idle; their specification (from top of my head) is 4bar at 5,000rpm, and as long as the low oil pressure warning light doesn't come on at idle then you're usually fine.
We've built a few engines that have oil pressure like that, but they trade pressure for volume because they make in excess of 700hp.
There are cam oiling no restrictors on the 964-based engines, they use an "oil bridge" between the cam housing and chain housing.
We think the restrictors are a terrible idea and remove them. Again, we'd rather have more volume than pressure, especially for cam/rocker lubrication.
And no Mobil-1 oil.
