Arrow What is the stock oil pressure?

I have ceased turbos (im waiting on a set of used ones) and I am noticing that oil pressure is really low at idle, sometimes going right down to 0!!

Is this normal? low oil pressure due to low-flow in/around turbo bearings??

I get a healthy 4-8kg when under load, or even when revving the engine fyi...

thanks,
Jeff

would driving with ceased turbo be a bad thing? I would think that the blades not moving would hold back exhaust gasses mking the rotor hotter than what they are giving you a slight chance of detonating. I would also think if the failure is internat (turbo "bearing") might get some metal shavings in the lubricating system. Not talking from expirience just though of that though.
