Default Oil pressure for a turbo???

Ok i have a b16a2 with a drag3 turbo kit on it. And its a Turbonetics T3/T4 turbo.
How much oil pressure is good for a non/ballbering turbo? Im running at idle 18psi, and from about 4200rpm and up im at 70psi-ish. Is that too high?

I'm running a restrictor with a gauge after the restrictor that gives me about 10psi at idle, and around 50psi at high rpms. No problems with the turbo at all, and no leakage either.

Should a restrictor be used with a 14b turbo?
