Think your rt on here.. You always going to get something in the pan--. If the pressure is holding up at idle and its not knocking you may be ok. Run time will tell, it isn't going to hurt anything now. Sounds like you already know if its bearings a drop in oil pressure at idle is a sure sign of an issue--

I would be interested to know if that material is actually bearing material or if its just crap from the castings. I have a few local buddies who have 1000+HP supras and casting material is pretty common when they change their oil. Now is the time to know, though.. I would send the next oil change out of some analysis just to be sure.

After a fresh engine build a small amount of metal shavings is normal as everything needs to wear in a little. Keep an eye and ear on your car in the mean time. Best thing you can do is talk to the builder about it. Then if that gets you nowhere pull the pan and check the bearings. If everything there is ok then you can either drive it and not worry about it untill something happens or you can completely disassemble and inspect the entire engine. It's up to you how concerning this is to you and how much time you want to spend on it.

Im been hearing that from couple of high power supras and evos guys too and they told me that something it is normal to get some casting material right away after our builds

Im hoping not to get any low pressure at iddle anytime soon. That ETS 6266 TURBO KIT is more than ready to hit high numbers 😜
