Idle Oil Pressure

Ok sorry if this has been asked alot.. I have an 06 IX MR.. Works 340 kit. So Cams down pipe, Tune, exhaust. Light mods. I just installed my oil pressure gauge. I tapped into on of the holes by the oil filter. I have a prosport electronic gauge. I notice when the car gets warm my idle oil pressure is about 10-12. Is that just cause the oil is warm. so the pressure drops a little? At WOT I am about 1150 -120 so that seems right and no drop. Just wasn't sure if at idle it should be that low.

Its perfectly normal for an Evo. Mine's the same. I panicked too when I first installed an oil pressure gauge.

Mine at operating temp drops down to almost 15 psi and while driving it goes up to almost 90 psi. So I have been operating like that for 45K miles without oiling issues at all or any issues on the car period. So it sounds ok from my stand point.
