I don't know where you heard the high volume low pressure stuff at, but most NA owners go out and buy the FD regulator and oil pump so that they can increase the NA's oil pressure......

regardless of the engine, you will need a pressure reduction pill for the turbo oil inlet or you will blow your oil seals from high pressure.
