Default Hi volume oil pump with twins?

Whats everyones opinion on using a hi volume oil pump with twin turbos? I have a standard volume but started thinking I may need the extra volume since im adding more than just the engine to oil.

You should go with a high volume more because your probably dOing a high hp higher rpm build.

I'm running the HVHP Mellings and I am running restrictors to the turbos. Mine idles at 58 psi hot. I put a gauge in line to the turbo and it sees more pressure than what the oil gauge in the car reads. I don't believe the turbos will starve the motor.

Thanks for the reply. I figured somebody had done some testing to verify the oiling to the turbos.
