Oil Pressure?

Just wondering what kind of oil pressure my system should be running. I guess i have never paid much attention to it, but i seems high. When its warm and ideling it at 40psi and wile driving around 65-70 mph its around 80psi. Im running a halfbridge and single turbo. So when i start to build boost it ramps up to 120 psi, is this normal or does that seem to high. Like i said i never paid much attention to it but it has me worried.

Ok thanks thats what i figured. I was also wonder what to do about the oil blow back. After high rpms im getting some comming back out of the base of the oil filler neck. Either not a good seal or should i get a oil catch tank to stop it?

Probably not a good seal, a oil catch isnt going to help that
