 Walter,
    how does low oil temp cause high MP?
    I can imagine it slowing down the turbo and causing more back pressure
 but
 I don't see how it could increase MP.   I would think it would decrease MP.
 
 regards,

I like 100dF as a MINIMUM, but much prefer a higher value.  I am turbocharged and if the oil temp is that low, the MP goes a lot higher as I apply takeoff power.  That's a turbo issue, not an engine issue.  100dF is probably quite adequate for the engine.
