What oil filter did you put on it. The anti drain back valve in the oil filter might be busted it can cause that issue. Its the piece of rubber or silicone (red) you can see just inside the oil filter.

Is that a thing? My car does the same thing when it starts. It's due for an oil change anyway so I'll see if a new filter fixes it.

Yea definitely, its happened to me with the barra engine twice now. First one was a aeroflow filter and a purolator after 10,000km recently. I'm into exotic oil filters haha I have a Bosch one on there now (made same place purolator) and have a Luber-finer to go on next they different design, e-core basically plastic cage in them instead of metal. I wont mention anything about bringing the boost in easier... Mine finally gets on the dyno again in a week or 2, so get a decent 4th gear run while I'm there :)
