Yeah probably around there^. With your turbo it will be less, as pressure=resistance to flow. Running oil to the turbo reduces the resistance to flow so pressure drops. I lost about 10PSI all around.

Oil pressure on the 4.7l can safely see as low as 5psi at warm idle the low oil pressure light will not come on until it drops below 5 psi
