I drove mine through rain a few times. One time really heavy rain. Having the sheilds REALLY helps.

Got my FP drain line saturday. I wasn't too impressed with it. The size of brass nipples used is actually a little smaller then the stock drain line. I took it apart and drilled out the nipples as much as possible. Makes me feel a little better about it anyway..
The line

Got my missing piece from CA Racing and finally got to make my oil feedline.
First I had to remove the plug. The allen hole was stripped out so I had to resort to welding the allen wrench to the plug. Thank god it actually worked!

Then I installed my .65 restrictor, which many people don't run and ruin their journal bearing turbo's when feeding off the oil filter housing. I did tons of research.

Last night I worked on the car til 4:30am to get everything completed. I had everything ready to go to be started today when I woke up.

After trying to get it started for 30mins, it finally decided to fire up! Here is the video.

Then, even though there is salt on the roads I had to take it for a ride. So I just took it for a quick 10min stroll around my neighbor hood. Not to mention I'm running open o2 housing and no front bumper. So I tried to stay on the back roads. I also got a new camera and mount so I decided to test it out. (youtube was being gay so I had to upload it on photobucket.)

I run my oil feed line off my oil filter housing with no restrictor per request of PTE reuilder. Never had a problem at all. I've got a journal bearing 67mm pte turbo with 0 shaft play because of it lol. Your set up is looking pretty nice by the way!! Keep with the black theme! When are you going to ditch the 1g bov though?

Thanks guys! Spinning is already an issue. Probably cause it's so cold out. We'll see what happens come spring time. It's really wierd bringing my car to 7k + rpm since I used to never make power passed 6500. Now, that's when the power really starts to kick in.

It's different for different turbo's and what oil pressure you run. Some have built in restrictors and others do not. Like you said, you can just call up the manufacture and they will tell you. A lot of people just don't bother and end up with blown turbo's. I see it all the time.
