Default B18a1 Holding 90 oil pressure?

i have a B18a1 swaped EG ,Eagle rods and wiesco turbo piston .The car holds 80 oil pressure on start up idle and around 20-22 when its warmed up at idle and around 70 when cruising ,But when i get on it in higher rpms it usally Goes to 90 than dumps down to around 80 .is this bad or normal for a B18 .

also im about to boost it agian should i get a oil restrictor with this much oil pressure because it would be holding around 80-85 in boost

thanks

Mine does something similar but reads MUCH higher PSI. Especially at start up (needle is pegged until operating temp). Idles at about 40-50ish. 70-80ish under 3k RPMs. Probably because I'm using a mechanical gauge. And I'm using a restrictor.
