jhaan_dude is a good guy *edit* BAD GUY!

i sent him a pm, told him he needs a restrictor.

Journal bearing should not need restrictors if oil pressure is in the normal range and if the turbo is properly built. I know that for a fact because I talked to the head guy at PTE themselves and he said. Now a BB turbo will and I got a restrictor for my pte BB turbo from PTE. The guy at Precision said that their journal bearing turbos like alot of oil since they are not water cooled. 4seasons69 just send it in to Precision and have it done right and correct the first time. They are great guys and are willing to explain things and work with you there.

yes it needs a restrictor! talk to blackrosenova about this! we have been down this road a million times! if you feed from the head you shouldnt need one, but if you feed from the filter housings you are seeing the full pressure from the pump plus massive volume. since the turbo has a open port on the oil channel it will just poor oil in there at high pressure causing it to blow by the exhaust seal! i had the same problems with blackrosenova's turbo 3 times before he put in a restrictor. now his turbo has zero issues. there is no more to talk about on this subject until i rebuilt it and he puts in a restrictor!

Actually after it started to smoke again the second time, I did run a .078 restrictor the third time. It didnt run very long before it had in/out play again. Then this time i messaged a bunch of Garrett representatives and figured out a .110 would be the best restrictor with my specific source oil pressure. Then you put in a 360 thrust and I put the turbo back in, now Im running over 30 and shes holding like a rock.

I was a little upset last night when I posted that so I edited it and think it's more than a fair review. I didn't mean to bash you in anyway just giving an honest review.

Kerry I agree 100%. I spoke with the lead rebuild guy at pte. He also said my turbo (standard journal 360degree bearing) wants as much oil as I can get it. I wrecked two of my current 67's feeding from the head. He told me go directly from the oil filter housing with NO RESTRICTOR. since then I've had the turbo on my car for 3,000 miles and it has absolutly 0 shaft play and does not push a drop of oil out of either sides of the turbo.

How big is your drain line?

I agree. He was very firm on the fact that with PTE rebuilding the turbo, he wasted it to have alot of oil and told me that he almost wouldnt warranty it if i did run a restrictor. He said if i wanted to run a restrictor then get a ball bearing turbo, and so I ordered my BB turbo from him along with the restrictor.

ok if this continues we need to start a thread containing it. kinda need to keep the person review thread to just that!

[95talonracer]

Um this is part of a review. People have to know what is going on.
