Default Silvertop zetec oil pressure?

What's the oil pressure that zetecs are meant to run at as my pressure seems high at 100 psi at 3000 rpm and think it's forcing oil through the turbo seals and is there any way of adjusting the pressure to make it lower if it is running high cheers

if your pump plunger in the prv is stuck that can cause issues, should see around 40/60psl on a warm tickover
