What should Oil Pressure be at Idle when Hot for a 1.8 L-Jet?

Mine idles at about 0.75 Bar ( 10.8 PSI) after driving in traffic.
Which I assume is too low , as the Green light comes on.
At cold start I see 1.5 Bar (21 PSI).

I am using a VDO 5 Bar gauge ( from late 80's VW Golf Cabrio) and matching sender. Sender is fitted to stock Oil Press Light switch location, via a braided SS hose.

I have a recent oil change ( 40W ) and idle is about 1000 rpm.

I am contemplating fitting the Weltmeister Oil Pressure Boost Piston kit.
Anybody have experience with this product?

Thanks
