Wired up the oil pressure today to the standard oil pressure sender on the back of the engine!. now when i run the car it goes to 7 bar but when warms up it comes down to 3 bar. When revving the engine it goes up to 7 bar again. Sound Normal!?

Quite normal.
When my engine is cold it's around 5-6 bar (both high rev. and idle). When it gets warm it's still 5-6 bar at high revs. but drops down to app. 2 bar at idle.

mines 60 psi when cold then about 50 when warm , can drop to 40 psi when hammering it. but thats a let.

pressure also decreases as the oil gets hotter and thinner, hence the 7bad when cold but 3 bar when warm

I get 4bar cold idle, 2bar warm idle. and its all over the place when I'm gunning it.
I have placed an aftermarket oil pressure sending in there back of the block (just next to the oil filter).

hmmmm might fit the aftermarket one to the car instead of using the standard one on the car! maybe not getting a correct reading
