at warm idle...about 12psi. give or take a few psi depending on how heavy of an oil you use.

i think toyota says you need at least 10psi at idle or you could cause turbo bearing damage. dont quote me on that though.

Toyota only calls for 5 PSI [I think it's actually closer to 4, like 4.4 or something] at idle.
Or more of course. --------------------  |
