premix and a racing beat oil pressure reg.?

im trying to go though and fix/improve all the parts that are naturally weak on our cars before i start to push my new motor and i was looking at a new oil pressure regulator. the thing i was wondering is, is it worth getting if i premix? i have a tII so, the turbo still will see oil from the system, and various other parts im sure. at 90 bucks, it could go somewhere else, but i can easly aford that out of one weeks pay check. would you?

What does it have to do with pre-mixing. Buy the OPR and put it in then PIIDB and GDFHSF

The engine oil pressure really has nothing to do with premixing.
You can go ahead and upgrade to the RB (street) OPR and premix no problem.

In my oppinion yes its a good idea because starving the engine of oil for the sake of oil temps is crap. I normally idle my car for 2-3 min before driving anyhow because of its cold idle sucking so i'm sure that gets oil temps warm. Becarefull about the bearing dropping though!
