Default Oil Pressure Readings... What the range?

I searched, but the new website layout must not have updated all the old archives for this topic.

For a typical turbo car, new engine, itr oil pump, -4AN Turbo feed line, 10w-30 oil... What kinda readings you get @ operating temperature at an idle of around 1300rpm?
