What Oil Restrictor do I need?

[santa]

Justin at PTE also said the same thing. Journal bearing turbos love oil, and do not need a restrictor. BB turbo's need a restrictor. I feed my 67 from my oil filter housing with a -4 line with no restrictor, my oil return line is a -10 (keep in mind my center section is vertical as well and not at all at a angle). I have never had a problem with my turbo since changing to this setup suggested by PTE.

Boyle's law is a gas law, and last time I checked, oil isn't generally in gaseous form in an engine. That would probably be bad :)

Beat me to it.

Would it not still apply to any material state? A venturi would affect a gas the same as it would a liquid.

How big was the orifice of the oil inlet, at the turbo?

that last one is for you sheides. it states that it should see a maximum of 70psi on a fp green on a EVO. not that cam's car is an evo but they share the same center section and bearings and seals.

Wrong. FP does not use Mitsu center sections.

DSMs and Evos don't come with oil restrictors yet their stock turbos don't have an issue.

This is where the problem lies, misinformation

Actually they do, its at the inlet of the turbo, its just not inline on the oil feed line.
