Technical Oil Pressure Gauge

[Wadejesu]

Installed an Oil Pressure on my 2015 Abarth, instead of adding adaptors and fittings to utilize OEM switch, I replace switch with a SPST toggle switch and installed a pressure sensor in the OEM location, New gauge has High & Low warning Tone adjustable built in, Engine has 85PSI @ Cold Idle, amazing.

Not sure about your model , but that oil pressure figure seems incredibly high to me based on older vehicles I have worked on.
Only information I could find is in 2012 manual giving 4 Bar at 4000rpm 58,8 PSI, appreciate yours is a different model and newer, but seems high to me.
I would like to see the figures using a good quality mechanical gauge.
Perhaps others on Forum have more information.

Is this because of the hydraulic valve control side as it seems a lot of oil pressure for normal crankshaft bearing etc.?
Are there two oil pump systems , one for normal crankshaft bearings and another for the valve control system?
Where do you get the readings from, a normal engine oil pressure gallery or something near the Mutiair system?
I was aware it was controlling the valve operation, but not of the pressures involved.

Not sure, I'm reading from where the OEM switch was located, Not sure where other port is at, I know there is a temp sensor on right side of cylinder head, not sure if pressure is there or not.
