Default needle valve?

well i don't know if you all know or not but i have been burning oil for the longest time. I just installed the needle valve and and oil pressure guage yesterday. My questiong is can anyone tell me how much oil pressure my t25 dsm turbo should be getting at idle, regular driving, and full throttle so that i can adjust it.
Thanks

30psi full throttle is fine. the turbos dont need much oil pressure at idle.
