Max should be ~80psi cold. At Idle when warm it can dip down to ~20. This assumes that you are using the correct weight oil (52-30).

Cold it's around 75 psi indicated, drops to a little above 65 psi when the car is warm.

Out of curiosity I temporarilly put a gauge on a newly rebuilt H22 and it pegged the gauge at idle when cold (~70psi). I think the oil light needs to see 10 psi and the VTP sensor needs to 55 or 60. So I guess those would be absolute minimums you would want (10psi at idle and 55 at 5000 rpm).
