Really 14 psi max oil pressure, thats much lower than I expected. I understood that only ball bearing turbos needed low oil pressure. What is the lowest oil pressure the turbo sees?

At one point I was planing on turbo charging my Honda Helix scooter, but the oil pressure was ZERO when warm and at 6k rpm. I think it didn't require high oil pressure because of the Ball bearing crank and ball bearing cam. On my current bike, Yamaha XV-250, I expect to see 40psi max on one of the lines going to the camshaft that i can tap.


Thanks for the insight.
