Exclamation Oil pressure at idle

I have a rebuilt engine with nismo high capacity oil pump, AAM oil pan spacer with upgraded oil lines from AAM to the turbos (Greddy Setup) and my oil cooler is from stillen.

the oil pressure showing around 90 PSI on my defi gauge at idle is that normal?

what is the best oil pressure while the car is idling, and the best oil pressure when i am giving full throttle?

This isn't "best" it's just what I observe on my '04 with stock oil pump.

cold idle: ~90
warm idle: ~20
warm driving: ~50-90 depending on rpm.

Regular Driving 60-90

I have a Nismo oil pump also, we plugged the piston oil squirters on the built motor & a GTM external oil cooler.
Cold idle pegs gauge @ 120psi
Hot idle 40psi
Cruising @ 3000 rpms 65
