Default Need oil pressure numbers

I have looked all over the place and can't seem to find how much oil pressure the tc makes. If anybody knows what the pressure is at idle, and max pressure is that would be great.

I also have a Turbonetics T3/T4 hybrid ball bearing turbo and was wanting to know what the max oil pressure is for that unit. Thanks.

My oil psi read about 10-15 psi at idle, 30-40 psi cruisen around and 40-50 WOT once the car is good and warm.

Doesnt the turbo have a oil filter restrictor? I thought all turbonetics have them......mine does.

It does but I just needed to know what the oil pressure was so I know how much to restrict the flow. Thanks for the input.

I guess the question that I really have is will the oil pressure of the tc hurt the turbo without an oil restrictor?

Well As far as I know most turbos dont have oil restrictors like turbonetics turbos. Maybe they do. As long as your running a T'netics turbo you'll be fine.
