hi,
I'm done with holset hx35 installation, looks very impressive. I've feed turbo thru oil Pressure switch and have a T who's one side is feeding holset and other has a oil Pressure gauge.

Idle:
I see around 20psi when cold and 7-9psi when fully warmedup.

maximum I see is around 50/60psi when fully warmed up.

Is that ok?
 
12. Oil pressure of 150 kPa (20 lbf/in2) must show at the oil inlet within 3 - 4 seconds of engine firing to prevent damage to turbocharger bearing system. A flexible supply pipe is recommended.
13. The minimum oil pressure when the engine is on load must be 210 kPa (30 lbf/in2). Maximum permissible operating pressure is 500 kPa (72 lbf/in2) although 600 kPa (88 lbf/in2) is permitted during cold start up. Under idling conditions pressure should not fall below 70 kPa (10 lbf/in2).

Taken from post #13

No less than 10psi at idle, 30psi MIN on load and MAX of 72psi
 
^^ this is exactly my thought.

By the way i'm getting sufficient maximum oil pressure around 60psi which i guess is good enough right?

But if i drill T a little bit more then idle pressure will increase as well as maximum pressure, which might not be a good idea.
