Default Burning oil in boost

I just put a new turbo kit on my accord. The turbo is a new SSAUTOSHIT t3/ t04e .50 A/r compressor .63 A/r exhaust, i did the usual for the oil feed line off the oil pressure sensor port. I noticed when in boost i can smell oil burning, so i put a needle valve on it and eye balled the adjustment. My question is what is a good oil pressure to run the turbo. I did drive it a few days with 80 psi oil pressure going to the turbo, did i mess anything up in the turbo because of that?

So far its no smokey for me.
