As far as I know oil pressure should be approx 10 PSI per 1000 RPMS and since I Put in my turbo in my pressure seems to be higher. At Idle when warm I am at 25 PSI and at 3000 RPM I am at 75 PSI. I am not sure if it’s the gauge but I had a mechanical one in there and it was the same but it started to leak so I went to an electric one. My car is a 03 Eclipse GS. As far as I can think the relevant mods on my car are a turbo and a sandwich place which I hook the oil cooling lines for my turbo and my sensor for my gauge. I change my oil every 3 mos or so. Also I have tried different weights in oil as well.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

My car is 20psi at idle and 80psi and 3000 rpm with 10w30. I have a completely stock untouched engine with 70k original miles. I think you're fine.

10psi per 1000rpm is just a basic guide line for most cars. and that is more of a minimum specification. most cars have more than that. I would say you are just fine

Sounds to me like you're fine.
